Why is El Nino and La Nina considered a hazard?

How can we prevent El Niño from happening?
There is nothing we can do to stop El Niño and La Niña events from occurring. The year-to-year oscillations between normal, warm, and cold conditions in the tropical Pacific associated with the ENSO cycle involve massive redistributions of upper ocean heat.
