In contemporary academia, disasters are seen as the consequence of inappropriately managed risk. These risks are the product of a combination of both hazards and vulnerability. Hazards that strike in areas with low vulnerability will never become disasters, as is the case in uninhabited regions.
Samuel de Champlain (French: [samÉ¥Él dÉ ÊÉÌplÉÌ] born Samuel Champlain; on or before August 13, 1574 â December 25, 1635), The Father of New France, was a French navigator, cartographer, draughtsman, soldier, explorer, geographer, ethnologist, diplomat, and chronicler.
New France was the name of France's North American posessions. The only remnants left today of New France are the islands of St. Pierre et Miquelon off the coast of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
