2008 Cairo landslide

Added a lacking citation to the last paragraph of the article.

Added two new sentences relevant to the article and cited the webpage:

"According to Amnesty International, authorities failed to evacuate the impoverished residents and provide them with temporary or alternative housing. People living in areas deemed unsafe in Al-Duwayqa and Ezbet Bekhit were forced out in a manner which breached the international standards that states must observe while carrying out evictions.[7]"

Also added link to the Wikipedia article titled Amnesty International.

1989 Malawi earthquake

Added the external link http://latitude.to/articles-by-country/mw/malawi/266087/1989-malawi-earthquake under the "External links" subcategory.

2016 São Paulo flood and mudslide

Added the last sentence to the first paragraph. Source was already in reference section but I re-referenced the source.

"The downpour also halted commuter train travel for several hours." [6] http://www.cbsnews.com/news/brazil-mudslides-floods-sao-paulo/

Found that someone in the class already edited the above article. No further changes made.

2014 Madagascar plague outbreak

Corrected plagiarism in the article by citing the source.

"A severe threat with the potential to facilitate the rapid spread of plague in Madagascar is the large numbers of rats in the country's prisons. If plague-carrying fleas were to infest these rats, they would inevitably infect prisoners, prison guards and visitors, which in turn would threaten the health of the general population."

Added two new sentences from the source

See content added below:

"While plague is not very common in many parts of the world, Madagascar reports anywhere from 300 to 600 reported cases per year (80% of the world’s bubonic plague cases). Typically these cases appear sometime between October and March."

Linked word "NGOs" to Wikipedia page on Non-governmental organization for clarification on what the acronym stands for.

2014 Peru earthquake

Added the following reference to the article because it only had one. Also incorporated two new sentences from this reference that were relevant to the article.

"Misca, a remote Andean village, was most affected by the quake. The small village experienced the collapse of around 45 homes. Four children and four adults were tragically killed according to emergency workers. [2] The president of Peru, President Ollanta Humala added that Misca, which was also 90% damaged, had been erected directly on a geological fault line and should be rebuilt in a different location after proper geographical survey of the area.[3]"

Linked the word Andean to the Wikipedia article by this name.
