Human-Caused versus National Disasters


Dear Editor,

In human history, natural disasters – earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones, floods, wildfires, hurricanes, typhoons, and heat waves – have not only caused millions of deaths but have also produced long-term social, economic, and environmental challenges that can take years to rectify.

It is difficult not to compare the rapid changes recently mandated to violent natural disasters which lead to adverse impacts and related losses and damages to people and nature (in the United States and around the world), the toll of which is impossible to calculate.
