Answers
Answer:
When it comes to natural disasters like earthquakes, floods and tsunamis, decades of development like buildings, flyovers, dams, institutions, all get destroyed in an instant. Less people die but more become crippled. Thus, livelihoods are severely affected. So, as a country prone to natural disasters, we need to prepare ourselves with additional funds for such times.
As we are aware, a lot has been said and written about the cause of such natural disasters, global warming being one of them. Yet, no action is being taken. Vehicular traffic is one such reason that is contributing towards global warming throughout the world. Burning fossil fuels is yet another. Unplanned urbanization is another reason. But the root cause of all is man’s greed for more and more, as he is not prepared to spare even the earth where he lives in for the purpose.
Like many developed countries that are taking measures to be prepared, in India too we need to be proactive in our approach to tackle future disasters. Technology like advance warning systems, building buildings that can withstand earthquakes are just some of the things that we can do. Other than that, insurance schemes especially meant for natural disasters need to be introduced by the Government. The general masses also need to be educated about evacuation procedures. Government institutions, corporate, schools and colleges should have initiatives for the same. Because when a disaster strikes, help must be ready in an instant. We cannot lose time leveraging resources during such times
