***Request for Student and Teacher Contributions to a U.N. disasters
mitigation site***

I am looking for student contributions to our U.N. web site. The url is:

http://www1.shore.net/%7Eglobalw/ungp/

The link to Youths and Volunteer Program needs contributions.

The focus is natural disasters, and, especially earthquakes. However, we
are interested in articles containing great links to every kind of
natural disaster and the scientists, safety experts, government
decision-makers and rescue teams who work with natural disasters. This
includes:
-- what the disasters are and what they look like
-- ideas about what causes them
-- safety/education/preparation methods for natural disasters
-- legends and myths around the world
-- eyewitness accounts

A committee will select postings for the site which is basically open
right now. One student article which should go up soon discusses the
challenges to disaster mitigation specialists in Mexico surrounding
"Popo" the legendary and real, *LIVE* volcano, where many do not wish to
evacuate, but would, instead, put flowers and prayers at Popo's feet.

Please put this out to your teachers and students. I hope to hear from
many of you soon!**************
