It can cause significant coastal flooding and is a major hazard associated with hurricanes.

Which type of natural hazard causes the most deaths in the world?
Floods are often considered the natural hazard that causes the most deaths globally, primarily due to their frequency and the large areas they can affect. They can result from heavy rainfall, storm surges, or rapid snowmelt, leading to widespread destruction and loss of life. Other hazards like earthquakes and tropical cyclones also contribute significantly to fatalities, but floods tend to have a higher overall death toll due to their recurring nature and impact on vulnerable populations.
