The second part notes the enlargement of social risks and vulnerabilities that is inevitably happening in the disaster area as the result of larger and macro social trends and drifts changing human behavior and societies. In the concluding section, several general implications of these occurences for disaster planning are noted, as well as stressing that these observations should be taken as a source of hope for a better 21st century since they anchor any proposed changes in disaster planning efforts in the real world

This paper has two major parts and a briefer concluding statement. The first part discusses the socially generated increases in disaster agents and occasions that certainly can be expected in the future, some that are already occurring, others that are yet to appear in full form. The second part notes the enlargement of social risks and vulnerabilities that is inevitably happening in the disaster area as the result of larger and macro social trends and drifts changing human behavior and societies. In the concluding section, several general implications of these occurences for disaster planning are noted, as well as stressing that these observations should be taken as a source of hope for a better 21st century since they anchor any proposed changes in disaster planning efforts in the real world
