Review: This paper brings the authors together to suggest a comprehensive framework for action to better manage the peril of natural hazards, and review how theory has been put into practice. This paper includes examples primarily from the Canadian experience, supplemented by some from the United States. Our principal purpose is to explore the major issues that have been raised with respect to catastrophic risk management and identify areas of potential research and policy development in Canada and elsewhere.
