These disasters are primarily caused by natural phenomena related to weather, climate, and hydrological processes. Common examples include floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, droughts, and landslides. These events can lead to significant loss of life, damage to infrastructure, and adverse effects on ecosystems and economies. The term emphasizes the connection between water-related events and meteorological conditions, highlighting their impact on communities and the environment. Effective management and preparedness for hydro-meteorological disasters are essential for reducing vulnerability and enhancing resilience in affected regions.
