Fields

Name	Description
Earthquake	Earthquakes occur following the release of energy when tectonic plates move apart. These plates move in currents in the Earth's lithosphere and the edges, which have been mapped to fault lines, sometimes collide.
Fire	Wildfires occur when vegetated areas are set alight and are particularly common during hot and dry periods. They can occur in forests, grasslands, brush and deserts, and with sufficient wind can rapidly spread.
FloodFlash	Flash Floods occurs when storms bring large quantities of precipitation in a matter of minutes.
FloodLarge	Large Flooding occurs when bodies of water flow onto land that is normally dry over a period of days on a large area.
Ice	Ice on the surface of water or in compacted snow makes for treacherous conditions and can result in injuries if people slip and fall. Water sources may freeze, cutting off access for residents to clean water or heat.
Landslide	Landslides occur when ground on slopes becomes unstable. The unstable ground collapses and flows down the side of a hill or mountain, and can consist of earth, rocks, mud and any debris which may be caught in its wake.
OilSpill	Oil spills occur when petroleum oil is released into the ocean following accidents, such as vessels crashing or damage and problems with oil platforms and drilling.
Other	In addition to the most common forms of natural disasters, there are other types of disasters which may benefit from satellite observations.
SnowHazard	Snow Hazard occurs when temperatures drop below the freezing point, and there is sufficient water in clouds. Snow storms can quickly cause disruption to inhabited areas if the ground temperature is cold enough for the snow to settle.
StormHurricaneRural	Tropical cyclones are weather phenomena which form over the Atlantic and northeast Pacific Oceans through the release of energy generated by evaporation and saturation of water on the ocean's surface. This category affecting urban or rural area.
StormHurricaneUrban	Tropical cyclones are weather phenomena which form over the Atlantic and northeast Pacific Oceans through the release of energy generated by evaporation and saturation of water on the ocean's surface. They are categorized affecting urban or rural area.
Tsunami	sunamis are seismic sea waves and typically occur as a result of underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
Volcano	Volcanoes are points in the Earth's crust which have ruptured, allowing lava, ash, rocks and gas to erupt during periods of seismic activity.
