Explanation:

Natural disasters are becoming more frequent, growing more severe and affecting more people than ever before. The reasons vary but include climate change, population growth and shifting habitation patterns. According to a statement released from the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters and the United Nations in January 2009, the average number of natural disasters reported each year increased more than 60 percent from 2003 to 2005, compared with 1996 to 1998. The Worldwatch Institute reported that in 2007 alone there were 874 weather-related disasters worldwide, a 13 percent increase over 2006 and the highest number since systematic record keeping began in 1974
