I plan to cover several subjects. First I will speak briefly about a definition of law, although I am fairly certain this kind audience understands a good deal about law. I will then indicate my basic thesis. After that I will review some disaster legislation of two states in the United States that addresses legal considerations relevant to events that occur during major disaster situations. Following that I will make some proposals about how some of the concern about the legal issues can be alleviated, particularly on a worldwide basis. Finally, I hope to provide you with a frame of reference for further consideration of legal matters.
