Explain how either governmental or nongovernmental organizations were or can use technology to plan for future disasters.

Examine the vulnerability in a larger context. Considering past disasters in your community or surrounding areas, do you feel that your community has done enough to prevent future disasters? Why, or why not? What recommendations can you offer to your community to address future risks?
