When disaster strikes
Lane, Thomas
When disaster strikes - 2005 - Building 270(8377) 15 April 2005, 62-64(3) .
Examines "Technical report on major incident and disaster management with particular reference to the recent south Asian tsunami disaster" which warns that rebuilding in response to one type of threat is not desirable. A flexible, integrated approach to disaster management is in fact more preferable. Suggests mapping the areas at risk from future tsunamis and calculating how far a tsunami might go inland. It is also important to make buildings resistant to more than one type of potential disaster.
