OTL Natural disasters

Natural disaster times
Some incidents would be inevitable due to overwhelming natural forces or very dumb/evil people. Of course you could try to arrest the idiots, pre-empt the disaster with public safety measures a few years before it is due to happen and/or renegotiate any treaties, but it must be a skillful and thorough act.
