In the last few years, there has been an increased incidence of civil disasters;the spectrum of possible catastrophes has also dramatically increased as a result ofan increasingly technologically sophisticated society. During the last 15 years, variedterrorist activities have become increasingly common as expressions of the opinionsof extreme political groups, especially in India.
