A natural disaster is a natural event that causes great damage to property or loss of human life. While India was already battling with the Covid-19 pandemic this year, climate change-induced natural disasters like floods, and cyclones have also been making lives miserable for people in India. Some of them have even been life-threatening. 

India recorded an extreme weather event on almost 90 per cent of the days in the first nine months this year, according to a report of Centre for Science and Environment (CSE).
