Predictable or not

“Predictable or not, it is clear that L’Aquila population were not prepared to react to this disaster (…) they did not have disaster’s preparedness plans, they are not familiarized with this type of disaster; they were vulnerable. In synthesis, all the societies have this problem; disasters and preparedness are not yet a solved problem, disaster “are always the consequences of human actions and social decisions…It is attitudes and behaviours which in the main have to be changed” (Quarantelli, 1992).” (Ferreira, 2009)
