AB The  human  species  has  endured  plague,  famine,  and  natural  disaster  since  the  beginning  of  written  record  and  likely  since  the  beginning  of  time.  Global  flooding,  earthquakes,  hurricanes,  and  tropical  cyclones  have  killed  millions  and  injured  millions  more  in  the  20th  century  alone.  In  addition  to  threats  from  nature,  humanity  faces  man-made  disasters  that  are  becoming  more  common  and  complex.  As  technology  increases,  so  does  our  ability  to  wreak  havoc  with  environmental  disasters  and  high-impact  production  accidents  or  engineering  failures.
