No region on Earth is immune from natural disasters. As we gain scientific understanding into the causes and nature of such phenomena, we become better able to mitigate the effects of disasters. Yet as the world's population continues to grow, an increasingly large number of people are at risk.

There is an urgent need for people from all walks of life to better understand the scientific principles behind the occurrence of natural disasters:
