They have inflicted huge destruction and damage on goods, buildings and land. They have seriously disrupted economic and social systems of whole societies. Will the situation improve? If we will not educate those who can use; the relevant knowledge that is available, it will become more difficult to prevent, to prepare for, to respond to, and to recover from the disasters of the future. There is a link between education about disasters and their manifestations
