Summary/Abstract: Albania is located in the south-eastern part of Europe, in the western part of the Balkan Peninsula. The geographical position and natural conditions have favoured various natural hazards. This study aims to identify natural hazards and their impact in Albania as well as their distribution and consequences according to the public perception. Using the GoogleForms platform, was created a questionnaire which was completed by 364 people. Through their analysis, it was concluded that the public in general knows the natural hazards that affect Albania and the area of their spread, they have also determined the possibility of occurrence of hazards according to the regions of Albania. The respondents have identified that they do not have information on risk management and would like to be trained for it. The study of natural hazards would influence the design of policies for their management for sustainable development.
