Like if there was a random tsunami, they could send someone back to warn of the disaster. Personally, I'd ban time travel into the past under all circumstances because the butterfly effect could potentially have consequences far worse than whatever that natural disaster may cost. Besides, there are a plethora of other ways to deal with such phenomena that don't involve the risk of Hitler winning WWII.

For example, people with Enhanced/Supernatural Senses, Danger Intuition or precogs would be excellent at detecting impending disasters, coupled with telepaths to issue the warning. People with transportation powers such as speedsters, Flight and teleporters could quickly evacuate people while telekinetics and elementalists could minimize property damage and human cost. And after the fact, those same people could clean and rebuild while Necromancers and healers could revive the dead and heal the wounded. Or you can just get someone with Disaster Manipulation to stop/prevent it altogether.

I suggest consulting TV Tropes' article on the subject for all the possibilities regarding the effects of traveling we've seen depicted to this day. Before you go, however, I must warn you of the Wiki Walks—Those things will siphon your time and end up ruining your life if you're not careful. I myself just came back from a one and a half hours long one... T_T
