Abstract
The last year’s world hazardous events (tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, etc.), generated a lot of discussions about the effectiveness of the space research technologies. The introduction of the high technologies in the everyday practice, fast communication systems and recent hardware and software, allows considering that early warning systems can play an important role in the population protection and safety. The concept of the destructive potential is introduced and several classifications about the different natural hazards and their possible negative influences are constructed.
