A hydrometeorological hazard refers to extreme weather and climate-related events that can cause significant damage to life, property, and the environment. Examples include floods, hurricanes, droughts, and landslides, which result from the interplay of hydrological (water-related) and meteorological (weather-related) processes. These hazards often arise from natural phenomena but can be exacerbated by human activities and climate change. Understanding and mitigating these risks are crucial for disaster preparedness and resilience.
