1. In the following sentence, "to which" can be replaced with "where"?
" There was the type of disaster to which policy-makers pay too little attention- one that has a very low or unknown probablity of occurring, but theat creates enormous losses if it occurs."
2. All these four sentences are grammatically right?
1) I'm not sure whether I'll have time, if I can meet you.
2) I'm not sure whether I'll have time, and if I can meet you.
3) I'm not sure if I'll have time, whether I can meet you.
4) I'm not sure if I'll have time, and whether if I can meet you. |

1. No. You need "to which."
2. No, none of them are grammatical. Here they are rewritten to be correct:
1, 2: I'm not sure whether I'll have time to meet you.
3, 4: I'm not sure if I'll have time to meet you.
