Documentary originally produced by [England] : Media Education Productions BV for the European Broadcasting Union/Channel 4, 2003
An examination of the impact of natural disasters upon people and where they live and work. Featuring case studies of the 1993 earthquake in Kobe, volcanic eruptions on the Caribean Island of Monserrat, avalanches in European alps, and hurricanes on the Louisiana coastline in 2002. We see the causes and effects of these events, the response and efficiency of emergency plans and services, and the impact on local economies. Also how human activities such as land reclamation and deforestation can exacerbate the damage created by natural events
