Electricity is one of the crucial energies of modern society, but it is greatly threatened by various kinds of menaces, especially natural hazards.

Then the changes in natural threats to power systems and their trends during recent decades are discussed, along with a review of events that pose natural threats to the power system. Finally, the georeferenced model based on the Italy transmission system for natural threats analysis is presented.
