Cascading hazards (or ‘multi-hazards’) are events where one hazard triggers or increases vulnerability of a second hazard, such as a landslide that blocks a river and creates a flood. They pose a challenge to disaster managers since they can evolve quickly and the outcome can be difficult to predict.

10moGreat notes. This must be shared to wider networks. A concept on Cascading hazards, sometimes multi hazards are a bit confusing to some donors. In my recent interaction, I had struggled to convince them that both of them are the same, most of the time.
