prepare for natural disasters: "Natural disasters
may be unavoidable but when at-risk populations are informed,
and prepared, the loss of life and devastation caused
by disasters can be reduced dramatically. Earth Report

and awareness can make the difference between life and
death." For

Assistance, an emergency-response group affiliated with
the Aga Khan Development Network, a group of international
private agencies working to improve living conditions
and opportunities in the developing world."
