There are hazards everywhere - they exist no matter where you live and work. These hazards range from natural hazards such as floods, landslides, earthquakes, and hurricanes to technological hazards such as hazardous material spills, computer crashes, power failures and the like. Since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, much time and money has been focused on terrorism, which is a hazard that potentially threatens many aspects of our modern culture.
