'Natural hazards such as earthquakes hit the poorest hardest, but Christian Aid is working with vulnerable communities across the world to make them more resilient to the impact of disasters,' reports The Guardian.
"We cannot prevent natural hazards such as earthquakes, tsunamis or even excess rain," says Nick Guttmann, Christian Aid's head of humanitarian. "But the impact they have can depend on human decisions – for example, natural hazards can have a more disastrous impact due to a lack of preparedness, bad planning or poor building."
