I asked the question back last year, what type of disaster would we see in 2012? Natural disasters including severe weather, flooding, earthquakes, fires and drought were the most common answer. Also included from multiple sources were civil unrest and technological hazards impacting infrastructure or supplies of critical materials. Here in the US hurricane Sandy seemed to be the winner. Globally, flooding was intense.

Does anyone see anything new cropping up this year or if you played the odds, what is the one hazard annex you would dust off the shelf and exercise first?
