History
Since ancient times, human societies have faced various natural disasters, including floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and droughts. Early civilizations developed rudimentary systems for coping with disasters, such as building flood defenses, storing food supplies, and establishing emergency shelters.
Many early societies interpreted disasters through religious and cultural frameworks, attributing them to divine wrath or natural cycles. Rituals, sacrifices, and prayers were often performed to appease gods or seek protection from disasters.
