Overview

Looking first at fire in different places, from forests to chemical plants, this book sets out some recent firefighting methods. It also studies flooding which is a constant threat in many parts of the world, and how man's activities have contributed to that threat. The book is part of a series which studies both natural and man-made disasters, and examines ways of predicting and preventing such disasters, and repairing the damage they cause. The series also features eye-witness accounts which give a vivid picture of the events and their impact on people's lives.

Examines how communities are working to minimalize the damage caused by fires and floods.
