What to Focus On
- A hazard has potential to cause harm.
- A disaster causes actual large-scale damage.
- Natural hazards and natural disasters are related but not the same.
- Yokohama formalised international disaster reduction efforts in 1994.
- IDNDR refers to 1990-2000.
- Disaster management has three stages: pre-disaster, during disaster, and post-disaster.
- Earthquakes are sudden and highly destructive.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
A natural hazard and a natural disaster are the same thing.
Disasters are caused only by natural forces, not by human actions.
The worst danger of a tsunami is in the open ocean, so ships at sea face the greatest threat.
