Shortly after a large fire, there is always a risk of flooding and flood-based erosion until vegetation is re-established. Depending on the size of the fire, the loss of wildlife can be very great. It is also true that displaced survivors will have a high impact on animals already in the places where they end up as refugees. The human cost can be high in the aftermath. Some areas where uncontrolled blazes have swept through populated areas take months to clean up and present health and other hazards in the interim. Loss of timber can precipitate economic damage that adds to the total cost of damages inflicted by wildfires, any or all of which could be disasters, depending on the "threshold" set for the definition.
Wildfires are some of the most dangerous of all natural disasters. Wildfires can kill humans, plants, and animal life. Wildfires have consumed millions of acres in the U.S. alone, and "each year, wildfires kill more Americans than all other natural disasters combined." An enormous percentage of wildfires are are caused by humans. Numerous wildfires can start by careless human actions such as sparks from equipment, arced power lines, campfires, burning debris, and discarded smoking products. Wildfires can also be caused by natural occurrences, which are out of human control such as lightning. *"In the year of 1995, 9,974 wildfires were caused by lightning. However, in comparison to the whopping 120,045 wildfires caused by humans, lightning was clearly a small percentage in the contribution of wildfires all around the world."

catastrophic disasters, such as wildfires, hurricanes, and terrorist attacks. While the fiscal year 2005 budget requested $792 million for such disaster recovery funding, since 2001 disaster relief assistance exceeding $3.3 billion has been provided.

A volcano eruption can cause an earthquake and or aftershocks
No. Wildfires are combustion, which is a chemical process. In terms of cause, most wildfires are caused by lightning (weather) or by humans.
An avalanche can cause a disaster.
drought
The US has approximately 45,000 acres that burn each year from wildfires. This is a estimate as the amount of fires in the US are becoming more and more major disaster then ever before.
Yes the snow can melt and cause a flood if the temperature is above freezing point and if it is not removed quickly.
