My Global Perspective report documents the cataclysmic impacts that natural disasters can pose to humans, the ubiquitous ramifications on the local/global economy, and how it is imperative for governments across the world to devise strategies to mitigate the effects of these catastrophic events. It also shows that the distress and annihilation is phenomenal, whether they are developed nations or poverty stricken, whilst also highlighting the fact that many of these catastrophes are augmented by mismanagement and urbanization. To conclude, the research helped me expand my outlook from the constricted understanding of only the Indian subcontinent to a global scale.
