Abstract: Disasters occur mostly in the developing countries of the world. The figure will vary depending on the criteria used, but probably 60-85% of all disaster happen outside of developed societies. Some of these disasters get very well known such as the earthquake in Mexico City, the toxic chemical catastrophe in Bhopal, India, the enormous destructive mudslide in Columbia, and the famine in Ethiopia, to mention a few in the last several years.
