The CEO of the Cornwall-based disaster relief charity ShelterBox Sanj Srikanthan says the number of people left without a safe place to live after disasters strike is growing exponentially. Some communities are hit repeatedly, leaving people with barely enough time to recover from one crisis before the next one arrives. The charity has launched a new campaign - Rethink Disasters - urging world leaders to focus on prevention.
