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.
Champlain is memorialized as the Father of New France and Father of Acadia, and many places, streets, and structures in northeastern North America bear his name, or have monuments established in his memory.
