An understanding of these forces and the way they interact to produce the natural environment in which we all live has become essential. As settlements move deeper into marginal lands and encroach hazardous areas,  we need to consider carefully the costs of such development to people and property. Many disasters are not the fault of nature but the fault of humanity placing itself in harm’s way.
