Evacuate people out of dangerous areas where safety is not guaranteed; focus on implementing measures to ensure safety for people, especially vulnerable subjects in emergency natural disaster situations. Move boats and means of aquaculture on the sea, along the coast, and on rivers out of the danger zone; organize the tally, guide ships to anchor, or take other measures to ensure safety. Take measures to ensure the safety of houses, offices, hospitals, schools, warehouses, constructions, and economic, security, and defense establishments.

Five natural disasters are Avalanches and landslides,Earthquakes,Sinkholes,Volcanic eruptions and Duststorms
I think Volcanic eruptions is the most destructive because Volcanoes can cause widespread destruction and consequent disaster in several ways. One hazard is the volcanic eruption itself, with the force of the explosion and falling rocks able to cause harm. Lava may also be released during the eruption of a volcano; as it leaves the volcano, it can destroy buildings, plants and animals due to its extreme heat. In addition, volcanic ash may form a cloud (generally after cooling) and settle thickly in nearby locations. When mixed with water, this forms a concrete-like material. In sufficient quantities, ash may cause roofs to collapse under its weight. Even small quantities will harm humans if inhaled — it has the consistency of ground glass and therefore causes laceration to the throat and lungs. Volcanic ash can also cause abrasion damage to moving machinery such as engines. The main killer of humans in the immediate surroundings of a volcanic eruption is pyroclastic flows, consisting of a cloud of hot ash which builds up in the air above the volcano and rushes down the slopes when the eruption no longer supports the lifting of the gases. It is believed that Pompeii was destroyed by a pyroclastic flow. A lahar is a volcanic mudflow or landslide. The 1953 Tangiwai disaster was caused by a lahar, as was the 1985 Armero tragedy in which the town of Armero was buried and an estimated 23,000 people were killed

In Britain, natural gas is the most popular fuel for heating homes, and for cooking. It is piped all over the country from the gas fields below the North sea. Natural gas is used chiefly as a direct source of energy, although it is also used in the chemical industry. At the moment, the supply is plentiful, but it will be running short by the end of the century, and it will run out during the 21stcentury unless new supplies are found. We could do without natural gas, as coal gas can be used as a substitute, and there should be enough coal to last for several centuries. However, it is a form of energy which is not only cheap, but also highly efficient.
