What type of problems result from the occurrence of natural disasters such hurricanes tsunamis or earthquakes?

The first and most obvious is the direct loss of life and damage or destruction of man-made property.
Following these may be shortages of clean water exacerbating flood-waters polluted by sewage from broken sewers, difficulties in bringing water and food to stricken areas cut off by ruined roads, railways and airports, and shortage of suitable temporary accommodation for the displaced population.
Behind these immediate problems are the losses of livelihoods and public facilities generally, possibly with serious long-term effects on the region's or even country's economy.
Incidentally, although all three events create similar problems, earthquakes and tsunami are geological, not meteorological, in origin.
