缅甸极易受到洪水、干旱、地震、飓风等自然灾害以及传染病爆发的影响。该国还是最易受气候变化影响的国家之一，预计自然灾害的影响在不久的将来会不断增加。2015年的洪水和山体滑坡已经证实了该国易受自然灾害影响的程度。而且除自然灾害外，缅甸在过去40年中民族冲突不断，造成人口流离失所和人道主义危机，受影响群体主要为罗辛亚人（或孟加拉人）。
缅甸受到许多自然灾害，如破坏性地震、气旋、洪水、滑坡（在6月至9月的雨季很常见）和周期性干旱的影响。在过去10年中，缅甸受到两次大地震、三次严重气旋、多次洪水和其他较小规模灾害的影响。
2015~2016年，厄尔尼诺现象严重影响了缅甸。2015~2016年的厄尔尼诺现象是自1950年以来威力最强的一次，对天气产生了重大影响。因此，缅甸遭受了旱灾，而且亚洲和太平洋不同地区出现了间歇性的、非常严重的气旋。
Myanmar is extremely vulnerable to natural disasters such as floods, droughts, earthquakes, hurricanes and outbreaks of infectious diseases. The country is also one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change, and the impact of natural disasters is expected to increase in the near future. Floods and landslides in 2015 have confirmed the country's vulnerability to natural disasters. In addition to natural disasters, ethnic conflicts in Myanmar have continued over the past 40 years, resulting in population displacement and humanitarian crisis. The affected groups are mainly Rohingya (or Bangladeshi).
Myanmar is affected by many natural disasters, such as destructive earthquakes, cyclones, floods, landslides (common in the rainy season from June to September) and periodic droughts. In the past 10 years, Myanmar has been affected by two major earthquakes, three severe cyclones, multiple floods and other small-scale disasters.
From 2015 to 2016, El Ni ñ o phenomenon seriously affected Myanmar. The El Ni ñ o phenomenon from 2015 to 2016 is the most powerful since 1950, which has a significant impact on the weather. As a result, Myanmar suffered from drought and intermittent and very serious cyclones in different parts of Asia and the Pacific.
