  2. What is actually a natural disaster? • A natural disaster is the effect of a natural hazard. It leads to financial, environmental or human losses. The resulting loss depends on the vulnerability of the affected population to resist the hazard, also called their resilience. This understanding is concentrated in the formulation: "disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability."A natural hazard will hence never result in a natural disaster in areas without vulnerability, strong earthquakes in uninhabited areas.The term natural has consequently been disputed because the events simply are not hazards or disasters without human involvement.

  3. Japanese nuclear firm admits error on radiation reading • Further doubt has been cast on a Japanese firm's handling of the Fukushima nuclear crisis after officials admitted overstating high levels of radiation, prompting an evacuation of the nuclear site. • Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco) said initial reports of levels 10m times higher than normal in parts of the No 2 reactor were inaccurate, although it was unable to say by how much. • The initial report said the worker who made the measurement, carried out on a pool of water in the reactor's basement turbine building, had fled before taking a second reading. • The worker's discovery prompted another evacuation at the site, halting work to pump and store radioactive water that has built up in the turbine buildings of three of the plant's six reactors. • Tepco later said the pool of water had been contaminated with radiationm but the extremely high reading was a mistake.
