What stocks benefit from natural disasters?

I don’t mean to sound insensitive or anything, but i personally believe that natural disasters will continue to happen. Is there a way to determine which stocks will either directly, or indirectly benefit from them?

  1. It all depends on the destruction. If lots over building (especially government buildings) are destroyed these will need to be rebuilt, therefore construction companies should rise. If a major power grid is knocked out you could expect to see an initial drop in electricity companies, just before the repair they should begin to rise again. These are two examples, obviously there are many more which relate to specific circumstances.

  2. Construction company stocks. Buildings have to be rebuilt.

  3. None but if the stocks tank because of the natural disaster, buy the stock. It’ll rebound soon.
