Natural Disasters

Since 1935, the National Archives has been responsible for the acquisition, preservation and public dissemination of the permanent records of the United States Government. Selected by specialists at the Archives, Natural Disasters chronicles some of the world s most devastating earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, forest fires, and volcanoes. Also recounted are the heroic efforts of relief workers to return cities to normal and the attempts of local governments to better prepare for future events. The authentic films on this DVD highlight the superb collection of shared national memories available from the Archives.
