It is obvious that military instability is likely to complicate and retard the process of getting natural hazard impacts under control. There has recently been a surge of research interest in disaster and conflict (ref). References Fukuyama, F. The End of History and the Last Man. The Free Press, New York, 418 pp.

An example of this for the 2013 GAR can be found in Di Mauro (2014). Unofficial voices have suggested that the 'cure to damage ratio' for natural hazards is 1:43. Global probabilistic assessment of risk from natural hazards for the Global Assessment Report 2013 (GAR13). The GAR notes that "we all live in communities".

It is a healthy sign in a field that draws upon more than 40 disciplines for its knowledge (Alexander 2013). Natural Hazards 86: 969-988. My only reservation about this is that we may need the impact of a recognisable paradigm in order to gain the recognition that the field needs. References Alexander, D.E. Ismail-Zadeh, A.T.,

The 2013 Target breach, which affected 41 million consumers, originated through an HVAC vendor. The platform automatically analyzes risks and identifies potential hazards, letting your team focus on strategic decisions rather than administrative tasks. Instead, they began with vulnerabilities in vendor systems.
