About
the Series
Natural disasters occur every year all over the
world. They are destructive and often deadly, and most are unpredictable.
Eyewitness
Disaster
provides information about natural disasters through
eyewitness accounts from survivors and rescue workers.
The books in
this series look at the causes and consequences of natural disasters and how
these events affect people and the environment. Each book also discusses what
scientists are studying in the hopes of being able to more accurately predict
volcanic eruptions, the paths of hurricanes, and other natural disasters.
