Physical and human geography can intersect to cause a disaster, but if we can understand the reasons for vulnerability to hazards, we can also seek strategies to minimise their impact.
This list focuses mainly on the interplay between human activity and natural hazards, including stories of how humans can turn hazards into disasters.
These resources look at why people live in hazardous zones, discussing the economic, political, cultural, and social reasons.
Very little demonstrates the power of nature as natural hazards do, and these resources aim at making the processes that drive these natural phenomena more accessible.
Climate change is changing our world and exacerbating climate and weather hazards. This list starts with an inspiring handbook aiming to save our planet, then looks at five examples of natural disasters which show why this is so important.
