WHAT EXTREME NATURAL EVENTS OCCUR IN THE SOUTH-WEST PACIFIC ISLANDS OR AUSTRALIA?
BECAUSE AUSTRALIA AND THE SOUTH-WEST PACIFIC COVERS SUCH A
LARGE AREA OF LAND, THE EXTREME NATURAL EVENT THAT OCCURS CAN VARY GREATLY. THESE PLACES HAVE THE HIGHEST RISK OF NATURAL
DISASTER. SOME OF THESE INCLUDE EARTHQUAKES, HURRICANES, FLOODS, DROUGHT, BUSHFIRES, LANDSLIDES, TSUNAMIS AND VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS.
THE RISK OF THESE EXTREME NATURAL OCCURENCES MAKES IT HARD FOR SMALL COMMUNITIES IN THE PACIFIC ISLANDS TO SURVIVE AFTER AN
EVENT.
