Preoccupation with global warming, ozone depletion and recent political events has relegated traditional natural hazards to a lower status of concerns. A `hazard spectrum' incoporating interacting environmental technological and social hazards provides a framework for understanding the dimensions of the problem and an alternative to the highly compartmentalised traditional view of hazards. Weaknesses in the traditional view are enumerated, and criticisms of the technocentric approach lead to a consideration of the `political economy paradigm'
