Multiple hazards refer to situations where different types of hazards—such as natural disasters (like earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes), technological accidents (like chemical spills), and social threats (like conflicts or pandemics)—occur simultaneously or in close succession, impacting communities and ecosystems. These overlapping hazards can exacerbate each other, complicating response efforts and increasing risks to life, property, and the environment. Understanding multiple hazards is crucial for effective disaster preparedness and risk management.
