Title: 2011 Record-Breaking Year of Natural Catastrophes
Post by: Wrightwood on Jan 06, 12, 10:45:37 PM

As it has been noted by numerous scientists, risk analysts and other forecasters, 2011 proved to be a record-breaking year for natural catastrophes in the United States and around the world. Hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, earthquakes and various flooding events caused billions of dollars in property damage, put disaster readiness plans and emergency responders to the test in major U.S. urban areas, and resulted in a significant number of lost lives across the country.
