First sentence: It has been forecast that the UK faces at least two, and possibly four, disasters each year in which up to 100 people will be killed each time and that every three or four years there will also probably be a major incident that will kill between 100 and 1000 people (Keller, Wilson and Kara-Zaitri, 1990).
