The greatest natural hazard in Africa is probably famine and drought. These occur over a wide area at a fairly predictable rate (according to El Nino almost every 7 years).

Low or no rain means poor or no crops which in turn causes higher mortality amongst the people affected. There are in turn secondary effects such as the rise in disease, crime and migration of population.
