Since the eruption started on September 19, authorities have declared more than 20,000 acres (8,200 hectares) between the Cumbre Vieja volcano and the Atlantic Ocean off

La Palma volcano buries homes, fields in ash 

La Palma volcano has engulfed thousands of acres lush land and over 7000 people have been evacuated so far. Here's a ground report.

In Spain, La Palma&nbsp;volcano has engulfed thousands of acres&nbsp;lush land since its eruption in September. Since the eruption started authorities have declared more than 20,000 acres between the Cumbre Vieja volcano and the Atlantic Ocean off-limits.&nbsp;Only police, soldiers and scientists are allowed to move freely in the exclusion zone.&nbsp; The quick relocation of more than 7,000 people has prevented the loss of human life.&nbsp;&nbsp; Now, evacuated residents line up in cars and trucks on the zone's edge, awaiting permission to make escorted trips home to rescue their dearest possessions, or at least see their endangered properties.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Inside the exclusion zone, there is destruction by lava as well as burial in a sepulcher of black snow. The ash is jettisoned thousands of meters into the sky, but the heaviest, thickest particles eventually give way to gravity. They accumulate into banks that slowly cover doors, pour into windows, make rooftops sag.

La Palma&nbsp;volcano engulfed thousands of acres&nbsp;lush land previously approximated an earthly paradise for both residents and visitors.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Since the eruption started on September 19, authorities have declared more than 20,000 acres (8,200 hectares) between the Cumbre Vieja volcano and the Atlantic Ocean off-limits. Only police, soldiers and scientists are allowed to move freely in the exclusion zone, which cuts La Palma&rsquo;s western shore in two.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The lush land previously approximated an earthly paradise for both residents and visitors. Spaniards and other Europeans spent vacations or retired there to be near the sea, while locals harvested banana trees in the semitropical warmth of Spain&rsquo;s Canary Islands.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Now, evacuated residents line up in cars and trucks on the zone's edge, awaiting permission to make escorted trips home to rescue their dearest possessions, or at least see their endangered properties.&nbsp;

Human time and geological time were brought into sync by the volcano. What once seemed a given - the land beneath people's feet - becomes as fluid and unpredictable as the lives the eruption threw into tumult. The creep of the lava, the buildup of ash, are matched by the growing anguish of the men and women whose way of life is being erased.&nbsp; A child&rsquo;s swing. A fountain in a courtyard. A tray of glasses abandoned under the duress of escape. All will disappear as a blizzard of dark ash blows from a volcano on La&nbsp;Palma island&nbsp;and drifts to the ground inch by inch, foot by foot.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Inside the exclusion zone, there is destruction by lava as well as burial in a sepulcher of black snow. A living room furnished with a hammock sits empty in the final hours before an implacable tongue of molten rock crushes an entire house.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Whether the end comes from lava or from ash, homes and fields located below the Cumbre Vieja volcano face annihilation in slow motion.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Silence would reign in the exclusion zone if it weren&rsquo;t for what residents have named &ldquo;the beast.&rdquo; The volcano&rsquo;s constant roar makes conversation almost impossible, nearly drowns out both the barking of abandoned dogs and the murmur of a flock of pigeons circling the sky in search of a coop that no longer exists.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The ash is jettisoned thousands of meters into the sky, but the heaviest, thickest particles eventually give way to gravity. They accumulate into banks that slowly cover doors, pour into windows, make rooftops sag. Some particles are so big that when they pummel a car roof or the fronds of a banana tree, it sounds like hail.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Entire houses, right up the chimney, whole forests, right up to the canopy, the ash erases the distinguishing features of the landscape.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The quick relocation of more than 7,000 people has prevented the loss of human life. At cemeteries, though, the occupants go through a second burial by ash, a burial that will wipe away the markers that note the place where they were put to rest.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Yet amid the apocalypse, there are moments for the sublime to emerge. The colors that remain gain in their brilliance against the new ebony backdrop.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A small shrub, shaken clean, becomes a luminous green globe, a sponge pulled from a coral reef, an orb from an alien world.&nbsp;

Weather disasters are striking the world four to five times more often and causing seven times more damage than in the 1970s, the United Nations weather agency reports.
But these disasters are killing far fewer people. In the 1970s and 1980s, they killed an average of about 170 people a day worldwide. In the 2010s, that dropped to about 40 per day, the World Meteorological Organisation said in a report Wednesday that looks at more than 11,000 weather disasters in the past half-century.
The report comes during a disaster-filled summer globally, including deadly floods in Germany and a heat wave in the Mediterranean, and with the United States simultaneously struck by powerful Hurricane Ida and an onslaught of drought-worsened wildfires.
&ldquo;The good news is that we have been able to minimise the amount of casualties once we have started having growing amount of disasters: heatwaves, flooding events, drought, and especially...intense tropical storms like Ida, which has been hitting recently Louisiana and Mississippi in the United States,&rdquo; Petteri Taalas, WMO's secretary-general, told a news conference.
&ldquo;But the bad news is that the economic losses have been growing very rapidly and this growth is supposed to continue," he added. "We are going to see more climatic extremes because of climate change, and these negative trends in climate will continue for the coming decades.&rdquo; In the 1970s, the world averaged about 711 weather disasters a year, but from 2000 to 2009 that was up to 3,536 a year or nearly 10 a day, according to the report, which used data from the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters in Belgium. The average number of yearly disasters dropped a bit in the 2010s to 3,165, the report said.
Most death and damage during 50 years of weather disasters came from storms, flooding and drought.
More than 90% of the more than 2 million deaths are in what the UN considers developing nations, while nearly 60% of the economic damage occurred in richer countries.
In the 1970s, weather disasters cost about $175 billion globally, when adjusted to 2019 dollars, the UN found. That increased to $1.38 trillion for the period from 2010 to 2019.
What's driving the destruction is that more people are moving into dangerous areas as climate change is making weather disasters stronger and more frequent, UN disaster and weather officials said. Meanwhile, experts said, better weather warnings and preparedness are lessening the death toll.
Susan Cutter, director of the Hazards and Vulnerability Research Institute at the University of South Carolina, noted progress in learning to live with risk and protecting ourselves.
&ldquo;On the other hand, we're still making stupid decisions about where we're putting our infrastructure," she said. "But it's OK. We're not losing lives, we're just losing stuff." Samantha Montano, an emergency management professor at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy and author of the book &ldquo;Disasterology,&rdquo; said she worries that death tolls may stop decreasing because of the increase in extreme weather from climate change especially hitting poorer nations.
&ldquo;The disparity in which countries have had the resources to dedicate to minimising disaster deaths is of huge concern," particularly due to climate change, she said.
Hurricane Ida is a good example of heavy damage and what will probably be less loss of life than past major hurricanes, Cutter said. This year, she added, weather disasters &ldquo;seem to be coming every couple weeks,&rdquo; with Ida, US wildfires and floods in Germany, China and Tennessee.
The five most expensive weather disasters since 1970 were all storms in the United States, topped by 2005's Hurricane Katrina. The five deadliest weather disasters were in Africa and Asia - topped by the Ethiopian drought and famine in the mid 1980s and Cyclone Bhola in Bangladesh in 1970.

World Tsunami Awareness Day is commemorated on the 5th of November each year. The day seeks to raise awareness on matters related to the natural disaster and encourage stakeholders to develop strategies of risk reduction to save lives against the calamity. The day is observed by the United Nations Disaster Risk Reduction and the theme for 2020 is focused on the Sendai Seven Campaign. Almost 58 tsunami events in the past 100 years have caused more than 260,000 fatalities, with the largest number of casualties reported in December 2004 in the Indian Ocean. In a bid to save lives, awareness, early warning systems, resilient infrastructure and protection of coastal eco-systems may help.
