The dramatic losses in recentyears from volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and landslides, wildlandfires, droughts and floods, cyclones and storm surges attest to thefact that we are still a long way from applying even the knowledge wehave today to make communities safe. Tackling this problem requires asound evaluation of disaster mitigation policies and tools. .As a contribution to the International Decade for Natural DisastersReduction (IDNDR), the fifth international symposium HAZARDS-93 washeld in Qingdao, P.R.
