There has been an increase in extreme climatic events such as flash-flooding,
drought and intense tropical cyclone happening across the globe. Climate
scientists have made prediction that the frequency and impacts of hydro
meteorological hazards will continue to increase. The increase in frequency and
impacts of hydro meteorological hazards is believed to be linked with Global
Warming where developing countries like Fiji are likely to be adversely affected.
This is because majority of the population are poor and vulnerable to disasters.
