When the ground shakes or a volcano erupts, the headlines jump fast. On this page we bring you the most recent natural disaster stories, from earthquakes that ripple across oceans to volcanoes that blast ash into the sky. Knowing what’s happening helps you stay safe and plan ahead.
The biggest story this week is the Shiveluch volcano in Russia. It erupted while a 7.0 magnitude earthquake rattled the nearby Pacific zone. The ash cloud rose high, prompting airlines to reroute flights and local crews to monitor air quality. This double event shows how quickly the earth can surprise us.
Even if you live far from Kamchatka, the effects can reach you. Ash can travel thousands of miles, affecting air quality and even sports performance for those training outdoors. Earthquakes can disrupt global supply chains, which means the price of gear you need for your workouts might change.
We break down each disaster in plain language. You’ll find out the cause, the immediate impact, and what experts recommend you do next. For example, after a volcanic ash fall, close windows, use air filters, and avoid outdoor cardio until the air clears.
Our aim is to turn scary headlines into useful tips. If you’re planning a trek, a run, or a bike ride, checking the latest natural disaster updates can save you from unexpected delays or health risks.
For each story we include a short description, the main keywords, and a quick safety checklist. The Shiveluch eruption page, for instance, lists: stay indoors, wear masks if you have breathing issues, and keep an eye on local news for evacuation orders.
We also keep an eye on Africa’s own natural disaster news. From floods in South Africa to dust storms in the Sahara, local events can affect your daily routine. Knowing the latest reports helps you adjust your training plan or choose a safer route for your morning jog.

Shiveluch volcano, one of Kamchatka's most active volcanoes, erupted sending ash clouds skyward while simultaneously a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck near the Kuril Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Both events underscore the dynamic nature of the region's geology. Authorities are closely monitoring to ensure safety.
