A research output of the UNU Institute for Environment and Human Security. The world has recently experienced disasters of a magnitude rarely seen before: the storm disaster in the Philippines, the cascading disaster in Japan, the earthquake in Haiti, and floods in Pakistan and Australia are a few prominent examples.
