The July 1998 issue of National Geographic magazine features an extended article on natural hazards along with a supplemental map depicting North American hazards. The National Geographic Web site offers background material on the article and an on-line forum through which readers can discuss the issues raised. The introductory forum piece, by Natural Hazards Observer editor, Sylvia Dane, attributes growing disaster losses in the US not to increasingly severe "acts of God", but to poor choices by human beings concerning where and how they live.
