are fuel, food and communication system globally are resilient enough to cope with natural disasters
Answers
Answer:
Floods cause more than half of the total damage and loss to crops which are also very vulnerable to storms and drought. Around 85 percent of the damage caused to livestock is due to drought, while fisheries are overwhelmingly affected by tsunamis and storms such as hurricanes and cyclones.
Natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons, and hurricanes inflict serious damage and so seem to be bad for the economy. For firms, natural disasters destroy tangible assets such as buildings and equipment – as well as human capital – and thereby deteriorate their production capacity.
Resilience is the ability of a system, community or society exposed to hazards to resist, absorb, accommodate to and recover from the effects of a hazard in a timely and efficient manner, including through the preservation and restoration of its essential basic structures and functions.
Answer:
No! I don't think that fuel,food and communication systems globally resilient enough to cope with a natural disaster as for example flood causes more than half of the total damage and loss to crops which are also very vulnerable to storms and drought.Smaller fuel suppliers have it worse, put in a position in which they are no longer able to get their usual shipments in on time.Communication systems are most affected by a large natural disaster, with the neative impact on communications exports lasting for upto five years after a disaster. The most common and biggest flood was caused in china in 1935.
