roadway damage
BlockedRoad
washed away
BlockedRoad
Roadway damage is generally caused by ground failure, or faulting. Ground failure includes events such as landslides, as well as less extreme events such as differential settling and loss of soil strength. Roads depend on the strength of the soil below them for support. If the soil below them loses strength or is ripped apart, the roads will follow suit. Faulting occurs when surface faults coincide with the roadway surface, causing it to shift, and potentially buckle. Thus blocking the traffic.
Broken_Bridge
bridge_damage
Broken_Bridge
When water velocities in existing rivers increase, the soil surrounding bridge supports can be washed downstream, a process known as scouring. This weakens the bridge foundation, which can ultimately lead to falling of the bridge. In addition, debris washed down the river can damage bridge structures as well. Example, the incident of I-35 collapse by Hurricane Katrina in 2007.

Early_Warning
The extent of the damage caused by a hazard is related not just to its severity, but also to the capacity of people living in disaster-prone areas to prepare for and resist it. Efforts to reduce disaster risk have therefore focused, in part, on developing early warning systems to provide timely and effective information that enables people and communities to respond when a disaster hits. Early warning systems are combinations of tools and processes embedded within institutional structures, coordinated by international — and sometimes national — agencies. Whether they focus on one particular hazard or many, these systems are composed of four elements: knowledge of the risk, a technical monitoring and warning service, dissemination of meaningful warnings to at-risk people, and public awareness and preparedness to act.

Recovery_Plan
Recovery plan is a documented process or set of procedures to recover and protect a business IT infrastructure in the event of a disaster. Such a plan, ordinarily documented in written form, specifies procedures an organization is to follow in the event of a disaster. It is "a comprehensive statement of consistent actions to be taken before, during and after a disaster". The disaster could be natural, environmental or man-made. Man-made disasters could be intentional (for example, an act of a terrorist) or unintentional (that is, accidental, such as the breakage of a man-made dam).

State_mitigation_plan
Mitigation plan is the effort to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. In order for mitigation to be effective we need to take action now—before the next disaster—to reduce human and financial consequences later (analyzing risk, reducing risk, and insuring against risk). It is important to know that disasters can happen at any time and any place and if we are not prepared, consequences can be fatal.

Fraud also goes up in the wake of disasters — especially instances where people who are not entitled to help apply for and obtain benefits intended for disaster survivors. There is no universal protocol for the distribution of such benefits, so some nonprofit groups and public agencies may be more affected by fraudulent claims than others.
