Scientists map coastal communities most vulnerable to natural disasters - UPI.com
UPI reports: "Scientists have identified coastal communities where poverty, poor
infrastructure and exposure to the elements combine to create a unique
level of vulnerability to natural disasters.
These varying levels of risk are showcased on a new map of the Caribbean
and South America published this week in the journal PLOS ONE. [...]
The 2017 hurricane season decimated many vulnerable communities in the
Caribbean. To better protect populations from future natural disasters,
policy makers must know where resources are needed most."
Comment: Coastal communities are being decimated. To my way of thinking, it doesn't really matter if it's caused by global warming or not...it's happening.
