This is mainly due to its situation in a relatively inactive seismic area, and because of low population densities. Geological disasters and hazards, however, still inflict a major economic and social cost to the province. Such disasters are to differing degrees avoidable or preventable if the hazards are identified.
In partial response to this concern, the Geological Survey, Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, initiated a project to examine the record of past geological disasters in the province. The findings to date (1999) are reported in the following articles ("Costs of Geological Hazards" and "Costs Table of Geological Hazards"), arranged by major hazard type and illustrated with selected examples. They document the nature and extent of geological disasters in the Province, and show the estimated costs, both social and economic, associated with such
