Natural disaster prediction involves using scientific methods and technology to forecast events like earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods. Researchers analyze data from various sources, including weather patterns, geological activity, and historical records, to identify potential risks and timelines for these disasters. Advancements in tools such as satellite imagery and computer modeling have improved the accuracy of predictions. Organizations like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) play crucial roles in monitoring and disseminating information to help communities prepare for and respond to natural disasters effectively.
