I approve: Power is the ability to withstand natural phenomena, natural disasters and the challenges of time. But that's what the World Bank does, unfortunately only the distribution of the resource. The main thing in confrontation is knowledge. Knowledge does not exist outside a particular person. We can resist only the knowledge of each of us. ISBN: 9785906153036

To cope with any kinds of disaster, we must first know about it cause and to know about it's cause we must first have an understanding. Related with risk analysis to disaster risk management. Sounds good!
