Title | Litany of 'terrible, no good, very bad' things that can happen after the disaster |
Date | 2004 |
Description | On average, 464 disasters occur each year in all parts of the globe. Some are more catastrophic than others; research reveals that excluding drought, famine and war, approximately 197 take place in Asia, 111 in the Americas, 77 in Europe, 61 in Africa, and 18 in Oceania. As a result, 50,000 people are killed annually, 74,000 seriously injured, 5 million displaced from their homes, and 80 million affected in some peripheral way2. While far less publicized, the resultant damage to cultural property is extraordinary. |
