There is no such thing as a natural disaster only the failure of humans to prepare for events beyond their control, a United Nations office warns.
In a display of almost Orwellian doublespeak, the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) further cautions “a hazard can only become a disaster once it impacts on society or community. A hazard is natural, disasters are not.”
The words of warning are contained in an online assessment published by the organization, stating at the outset “We often hear about ‘natural disasters’ in the news or from NGOs and international organisations (even some less-well informed UN agencies!). The truth is, there is no such thing as a natural disaster.”

There is a high degree of hubris and arrogant conceit in the U.N. langauge because it attemtps to portary humans as always capable of avoiding a disaster, which is not true at all. Sometimes every bit of preparation can only limit the effects of a disaster but not avoid it.
Thats not even half way across my screen. I dont understand why computers cant figure it our and scale it properly. Does HTML support ‘%’ call to scale a picture to the viewers screen regardless of size? Tablets are the worst and they will be installed in all of your flying cars “for your convenience”.
The UN, WHO, WEF are all part of the huge communist beast. Klaus Schwab said he’s infiltrated every government around the world. Now we see him pulling the strings back, centralizing his power through the use of controlled speech. Controlled speech means controlling your thoughts.
Some may look OK on whatever device you’re using at that time. Some suggest the 100% thing.
I’ve just taken to putting width limits on all of my images, though every now and then, one slips by. I usually see and correct it in time.
Usually.
For a good rule of thumb, “width=600” will accommodate most all of your audience. And it’s not necessary to adjust the height in nearly every case as it becomes automatic by proportioning.
Now, with Obama, he’s soooooo special that I give him an extra 66 on width here and there...........
Has there been a collections of more useless people ever assembled?
That's a fancy way of saying she doesn't know what the heck she's talking about, and would do the world a favor by shutting her mouth.
It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy. - George Orwell, 1984

Daniel 7:23-24 - New King James Version
23 “Thus he said:
‘The fourth beast shall be
A fourth kingdom on earth,
Which shall be different from all other kingdoms,
And shall devour the whole earth,
Trample it and break it in pieces.
24 The ten horns are ten kings
Who shall arise from this kingdom.
And another shall rise after them;
He shall be different from the first ones,
And shall subdue three kings.

Revelation 17:7-18 - New King James Version
The Meaning of the Woman and the Beast
7 But the angel said to me, “Why did you marvel? I will tell you the [a]mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. 8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to [b]perdition. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and [c]yet is.
9 “Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. 10 There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time. 11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to [d]perdition.
12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. 14 These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.”
15 Then he said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues. 16 And the ten horns which you [e]saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 17 For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. 18 And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.”

It’s a toss-up if you consider the cast of “The View”......
My question is, why are they promoting this pedantic distinction? What’s their motive? Are they trying to suggest that if we pass the right environmental laws, if we reduce “greenhouse gases,” we will make Gaia happy and there will be no more earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes, and floods?

I’ll tell you what: Why doesn’t she read this book on Risk Management and then I’ll see if she can explain it to ME!
Stop funding and turn the building into a bum/illegal alien shelter.
I just need to adjust my default width limit to “600” instead of “1000” and pay a lil more attention.
Does anyone remember a user named ‘MiaT’? She was the master at overloaded and excessive use of graphics in her posts.
Based on all the wonderful rabble rousers on Free Republic, controlling speech looks like a losing proposition.
Besides, a look to the subscriber / readership / viewership data for so much of the Lefty lockstep media, looks like people just stroll away....
I am optimistic, when such as the EU's Josep Borrell worries that elections might elect populists. Oh gasp! Same worries being expressed here! When "they" worry aloud, one may be certain they have been worrying silently for some time now....
Again with changing the meaning of words.
I would like to see it remodeled into apartments of US Veterans.
Cafeteria on ground floor.
Medical services on 2nd floor.
The rest== living quarters-—at COST for rent.
No women unless married to a vet ……. Nope.

“A hazard becomes a disaster when it causes harm to people’s lives and property. A hazard is an unusual event that has the potential to threaten people’s lives, their property, and livelihoods. Hazards do not necessarily cause any destruction.
Eco-intelligent Disasters can be caused by natural, man-made, and technological hazards. Examples of hazards include:
Earthquakes, Floods, Heatwaves, Wildfires, Typhoons, Fires.
Examples of man-made disasters include:
Crime, Arson, Civil disorder, Terrorism, War, Biological/chemical threat, Cyber-attacks.
A high level of vulnerability and a lack of resilience can turn a hazard into a disaster. Disaster risk is expressed as the likelihood of loss of life, injury, or destruction and damage from a disaster in a given period of time.
