Floods, cyclones … business and governments must wake up to disaster | Mark Tran 20.5.2013 The Guardian -- World Latest
Companies need to take more consideration of disaster risks when looking for investments in Africa and Asia • Worst natural disasters of 2012 by numbers displaced – in pictures • Climate disasters displace millions of people worldwide Companies will be looking increasingly at investment opportunities in Africa and Asia in coming decades as that is where growth is strong, but for most of them the risk of disasters is unlikely to be on the radar. Steps are being taken to try to change this mindset. In exploring investment opportunities, companies will look at political risk, access to natural resources and infrastructure.

Minds traumatised by disaster heal themselves without therapy 12.5.2013 The Guardian -- World Latest
Aid agencies that promote one-off counselling sessions after major traumas only prolong victims' suffering One of the largest earthquakes ever recorded hit on Boxing Day 2004. The resulting tsunami devastated huge swaths of the Indian Ocean coastline and left an estimated quarter of a million people dead across Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India and Thailand. Aid agencies quickly arrived to help battered and traumatised survivors. Mental health was a massive part of the emergency response but the World Health Organisation promptly did something it has never done before or since. It specifically denounced a type of psychological therapy and recommended that it shouldn't be used.
