A natural disaster is something caused by earthly habits - it comes naturally and their is no way to prevent it.
A hazard is something that happens from humans casing it - it can be prevented.

The word "natural" is used to note that the disaster is caused by nature. Some examples of natural hazards are: earthquakes, hurricanes, sinkholes, hail storms, wildfires, and the like. It might also be helpful to keep in mind that one natural hazard can lead to another. For example, an earthquake can cause a tsunami
