⛓️‍💥 Let's break the chain. Stop saying NATURAL disasters - and others will follow. 💡

There is no such thing as a natural disaster! ❌

A hurricane, earthquake, or flood is a natural hazard—but it only becomes a disaster when people are unprotected, exposed, and vulnerable due to the lack of preparedness, inequalities or other vulnerabilities. 🔥🌊

Next time you hear that phrase – “natural disaster” – step up and correct the speaker: 💬 “There is no such thing as a natural disaster.” Together, we can break the chain and shift the narrative!
