[edit] Merge - 'Natural disaster' be merged into Natural hazard

May I suggest that the page 'Natural disaster' be merged into Natural hazard? Rather than the other way round?

It's a simple case of cause and effect: A natural hazard is the cause of a natural disaster. Further to this argument, on the page 'Natural Disaster' the information on natural hazards was the main constituent.

There's alot more that can be added on 'natural disaster' such as definitions etc (see discussion on 'natural disaster' page.), but unfortunately I have to work now! --Ragdoll1984 07:04, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No mention of responses to natural hazards

No mention of this, I note Geoscience Australia has just released a report[1] on this, I would be surprised if the US did not have something similar. Paul foord (talk) 12:50, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
