yes FAULT it's fault
An active fault is a geological fault which has exhibited seismic activity within a geologically recent time period.
san Andreas fault
There are several fault lines in the Davao City area, including the Digos and Makilala Faults. These faults are part of the larger Philippine Fault Zone, which is a series of active faults that run along the western coastline of the Philippines. While the Davao Fault System also runs through the area, its activity and implications for seismic hazards are still being studied.
Transform faults, where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, can result in earthquakes but are not typically associated with natural disasters. However, they can indirectly contribute to other natural disasters. For example, if a transform fault runs through a coastal area, the sudden movement along the fault during an earthquake could trigger a tsunami, which can be highly destructive. Additionally, the rupture of a transform fault might also lead to landslides, particularly if it occurs in mountainous regions.
According to the book Natural Hazards, most geologist consider a particular fault to be an active fault if it has not moved during the past 10,000 years of the Holocene Epoch.

yes FAULT it's fault
Earthquakes.
Scientists also look for areas where earthquakes have not occurred along an otherwise active fault.
EARTHQUAKES - the sudden, intense shift along already formed fault cause earthquake to occur -earthquake occur around plate boundary where plate movement occur in the form of faulting
Earthquake
A natural hazard is a threat of a natureoccurring event that will have a negative effect on people or the environment. Many natural hazards are interrelated, e.g. earthquakecan cause tsunamiand droughtcan lead directly to famineor population displacement. It is possible that some natural hazards are intertermporally correlated, as well. A concrete example of the division between a naturalhazard and a natural disaster is that the 1906-san-francisco-earthquakewas a disaster, whereas living on a fault line is a hazard.
Elevation can impact how active an earthquake fault is. Studies have shown that the higher in altitude a fault line is, the more active the fault line is.

I would say Hurricanes and Tsunamis. But, you could also say earthquakes since some are on fault lines.
