Os desastres de origem" natural" deixaram milhares de mortos e feridos e causaram danos materiais de bilhões de dólares, nos últimos 20 anos. Esses desastres tiveram origem não tanto em fenômenos naturais extraordinários, mas na falta de planos e programas de prevenção e mitigação de desastres.

Los desastres de origen" natural" han provocado miles de muertos y heridos y daños materiales por miles de millones de dólares en los últimos veinte años.
