- Also known as forest fires, wildfires are large uncontrollable fires that are fueled by dry vegetation. Wildfires often occur alongside a drought.
- Blizzards are a type of dangerous snowstorm where there are powerful winds with a minimum speed of 35 mph (56 kph).
- A flood is where land is covered by water when it normally is dry. This occurs when a large amount of precipitation or melting ice causes bodies of water to overflow.
- Tornadoes are also known as twisters, whirlwinds or cyclones. They are a funnel of rapidly moving air that are in contact with the ground.
- Landslides involve fast moving land that slides down a slope.
