Title: Is there a Natural Transition from Geography and Natural Hazards to Geography and Natural Disasters?
Abstract: My transparent attempt at using a pun or two in the title of this short editorial is warranted, as there is in today’s world less natural about natural hazards and natural disasters and more and more human actions involved in both the causes and consequences of both so-called natural hazards and natural disasters. More and more often humans are an underling cause (earthquakes are a clear exception here) and their uses of geography and nature in the sense of the locations of various activities and land uses more and more often convert natural hazards into natural disasters.
