Top Reasons to Prepare for a Disaster 1. Disasters are more prevalent today
Since 1985 there has been a 400% increase glob-ally in natural disasters
2. Disasters have increased in size & extent of devastation Think wildfires, hurricanes, tsunamis and earth-quakes. The entire length of the Oregon coast is in a subduction zone, more prone to earthquakes.
3. Disasters have become more complex Many large-scale disasters give rise to secondary problems
4. Pandemics can spread rapidly and overwhelm the under-prepared With modern-day ease of travel, infectious disease can spread rapidly
5. Disasters impact the whole person & the whole community
6. Disasters reveal who are the most vulnerable in a community
7. Disasters impact the entire community but dispro-portionately affect the poor and vulnerable
