UN Calls for Greater Commitment to Disaster Relief

Over 250 million people are impacted by natural disasters every year, a 30 percent increase from 10 years ago. The increasing reality of climate change is translating into more disasters being recorded every year. The United Nations is calling on countries to improve their disaster preparedness. Here in Florida we cannot wait for the national government to warm up to the idea of climate change. We know all too well what havoc an unbalanced environment can reek on our lives.
