The entire global is vulnerability to disastersman-made or natural. Recent earthquake is Pakistan an India (2005); Tsunami in Indonesia, Malaysia, India and Sri Lanka; Katerina in USA etc., have been frequently reminding us that we are vulnerably to disasters everytime, everywhere. Going to back, Hurricane Mitch wrought fearful damage across Central American states in just 48 hours.
