About this title

Synopsis

Risks and hazards are inevitable by-products of technological change and human interaction with the natural environment. In recent years, however, the increase in hazardous incidents worldwide has caused governments, commercial and voluntary organizations and the general public to become increasingly concerned about the risks that they face. In response to this the United Nations has designated the 1990s as the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction.
