Disruptive Nature explores the worst natural disasters of the last 20 years. Discover just how powerful nature is and how it can disrupt whole civilizations, resulting in huge death tolls and vast economic loss. Beginning in the year 2000, we explore the natural disasters that shook nations and discover how they killed thousands of people and decimated towns and cities. From earthquakes, to avalanches, to cyclones, investigate the emotional and economic impact these events have on the communities they hit. We will explore the origin and characteristics of each of these natural phenomena and see how nature can change lives in a matter of hours, minutes, or, in some cases, seconds. We delve into the efforts made by countries, cities and residents to recover from these disasters and how they prepare for future inevitable events.
