Earth has all kind of belts. Seismic belts are prone to earthquakes. Then there are belts where typhoons and hurricanes work. Also, bushfires, great avalanche, volcanic disruption and inundation can be among the major natural threats in some places. In the wake of natural catastrophe, houses and residences suffer a lot. They are far too minuscule. Yet, they can be insured against great damage if a few things are considered while building.

For instance, aerodynamics plays a great part in building a home near a beach. These homes suffer from excesses of hurricanes and tornadoes. Thus it is important to make them in a way so that they offer greatest resistance to air and gusty winds. Similarly, for those places where there is a chance of bushfire, houses can be built from cannabrick or other fire resistant materials. Roof flashing techniques for disallowing water seepage can be helpful.
