It is, however, possible to be prepared and mitigate the effects of the natural hazards. The Canadian government creates awareness and invests in the studies of these natural occurrences. It has been seen in the past that whenever a hazard is predictable, the government will make efforts to ev...
The events of this terrible disaster, which have echoes of Katrina in terms of a natural event being compounded by human mistakes, are primarily told using the exact language of a Board of Public Health report. The approach of this chapter gives the reader exposure to another key disaster and...
We begin by estimating the effect of each of the main variables of interest separately on firm hazard, i.e. each of the three distance dummies as well as closeness centrality. We use the Cox (1972) proportional hazards model, which formally estimates the hazard rate for thejthsubject,h(t∣...
Climate change and environmental hazards affect the entire world, but their interactions with—and consequences on—human migration are unevenly distributed geographically. Research on climate and migration have their own geographies which do not necessarily coincide. This paper critically confronts these two...

He outlines five problem areas that should become the main concern of the discipline: (1) economic evaluation of resources, (2) study of natural hazards, (3) the fight against environmental pollution, (4) locational patterns of production that will reduce or eliminate the effects of pollution,...

ABAG even has maps for other natural hazards such as wildfires and flooding. Some words of caution: • Because these hazard maps are based on general infor- mation, they are reasonably accurate for a neighbor- hood, but much less accurate for a particular address. • The maps in ...
Human activity has greatly reduced the area of the monarchs’ natural overwintering habitats, in both California, for real estate developments, and in Michoacán, due to forest clearance for timber and agriculture. Farming activities in the US have also resulted in the loss of milkweed along the...
