With advancing technology, our reach is increasing enormously. Today we possess means of seamless communication with people living on the other side of the globe from ourselves. This, in turn, is bringing new trends and more advanced risk mitigation technologies into the Disaster Management field.  Communication has improved significantly, making it easy for large international organizations to optimize their operations and response time.  Technologies for predicting and estimating the probability of occurrence of a disaster, too, have improved significantly and today we are warned when a cyclone is making its way towards us.  In the future, we can expect these measures to take even greater leaps forward, taking us into a future where disaster fatalities are significantly reduced, and recovery rates are improved significantly.
