Photographs and other visual media provide valuable pre- and post-event data for natural
hazards. Research, mitigation, and forecasting rely on visual data for post-analysis,
inundation mapping and historic records. Instrumental data only reveal a portion of
the whole story; photographs explicitly illustrate the physical and societal impacts
from an event. This resource provides high-resolution geologic and damage photographs
from natural hazards events, including earthquakes, tsunamis, slides, volcanic eruptions
and geologic movement (faults, creep, subsidence and flows). The earliest images date
back to 1867. Each event also links to NCEI's Global Historical hazards databases,
which provide details for these events. |
