Hi Bruce (& List),
Bruce, I usually agree with your statements but I am sorry to say that you
have lost me a little bit with the quotes below. Please forgive my ignorance.
>> With respect to disaster, I will assume disaster as resulting from a
natural hazard. <<
Yes, but not always! A man made hazard can result in a man made disaster. For
instance, pilot error that results in the crash of an airplane and all 300
people aboard is not a natural disaster. It is a man masde diaaster resulting
from a man made hazard.
>> A natural hazard could be defined as the way humans view a natural system,
if the system is perceived as negative then it is a natural hazard if it is
perceived as positive then it is a natural resource. Disaster being a
consequence of a natural hazard. <<
Could you please explain?
Thanks,
Bruce D. Winningham
