This very nuanced NYT article about the Turkish city of Erzin that survived last week's earthquake largely unscathed (with no deaths and no collapsed buildings) demonstrates that the term "natural disaster" is a misnomer as a friend puts it. What we actually have are natural hazards and *human* disasters.

'No buildings were destroyed in Hatay’s Erzin district during the devastating earthquakes that jolted the southern provinces, with the mayor announcing that there are no casualties in the district as he has not allowed illegal construction.
Only some houses and the minarets of mosques were damaged in Erzin with a population of 42,000, though Hatay was one of the provinces hit hardest by earthquakes centered in the nearby province of Kahramanmaraş.'
