A View from Samoa We need not be reminded that natural disasters do not discriminate or recognise national or international boundaries, every nation and property, including human lives are at risk when disaster strikes. It is therefore the duty and responsibility of all of us to be constantly reminded of the devastating effects that natural hazards can have on us, our state of preparedness, and mitigating efforts.
