But the devastation which too often follows floods, droughts, earthquakes and hurricanes does not have to be. That’s the message of the World Bank’s Hazard Management Unit, which is working with Developing Countries to plan for potential natural hazards as a development issue, instead of confronting them only as a humanitarian emergency when a crisis strikes. With extreme weather events occurring more frequently and affecting more people than ever before, proper disaster planning has never been more important. The Bam earthquake in Iran in December, which claimed 43,000 lives and devastated the city, showed how a natural disaster can change a community’s destiny in the blink of an eye and wipe out years of development initiatives.

Hazards of Natural Disaster Cleanup Work William J. Becker and Heather Pirozzoli University of Florida This circular is a reprint of a National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) UPDATE published after the major flood that hit the midwest in 1993. Minor revisions were made in these opening paragraphs to indicate that much of this information is appropriate during any natural disaster no matter how large or small. After a natural disaster, workers will face a number of hazards associated with the cleanup activities. "While we may be powerless against nature, we possess the power and the knowledge to prevent the loss of life during cleanup efforts," said NIOSH Acting Director, Dr. Richard A. Lemen. ELECTRICAL HAZARDS NIOSH has investigated several work-related electrocution deaths following natural disasters. During the 1993 flood in the midwest, at least four people died of electrocution. To prevent further electrocutions, NIOSH urges those involved in cleanup activities to take the following steps:
