Dear Students,
The recent calamities that struck Japan remind us that now, more than ever, we should start to adapt our practices, procedures, and structures to the ever-increasing frequency, magnitude, and impact of natural and man-made disasters. Actually, there were other disasters and extreme weather events that occurred in the previous months on the other side of the Earth but they were hardly noticed by the media or we simply ignored them. And if we are to believe climate change projections and scenarios, many more are still to come (but we should be careful also in quickly attributing everything to climate change; let the scientists do that for us). In the future, in your little ways, I hope you could help prepare our country deal with these calamities.
