Loss from Natural Disasters Could Triple by 2100

This article discusses future environmental hazard conditions. As the world population grows, so will the hazard risks. The fastest growing populations are statistically in areas at higher risk of hazard damage. Officials must consider methods of protection because it will pay off financially. Things suggested include better infrastructure protection for buildings such as hospitals, buffering methods such as planting mangroves along coastal regions, and reviewing rent on buildings. Many property owners fail to consistently maintain buildings, leading to a higher risk of collapse in severe weather. The content of this article shows that it's more financially responsible to prevent the hazard than paying for the after effects. The after effect expenses are usually the higher ones.
