What are the preventive measures
which helps natural disaster
Answers
Answer:
1: Protection of schools and hospitals: All new schools and hospitals should be located and constructed to ensure that high-hazard areas are avoided and that special provisions are made to reduce the potential for damage by natural hazards. In addition, existing school and hospital buildings should be surveyed to determine their levels of resistance to relevant hazards.
2: Adoption of nonstructural measures: Furniture and equipment, for example, can be easily secured to reduce injuries and damage from earthquakes. Other nonstructural measures are management of vegetation to reduce damage from wildfires and location of structures away from high-hazard areas.
3: Government should raise awareness of natural disasters through information campaigns promoting efforts to make communities and governments faced with such issues more resilient and able to respond to disasters.
4: Self awareness is most important among all. The key to reducing loss of life, personal injuries, and damage from natural disasters is widespread public awareness and education. People must be made aware of what natural hazards they are likely to face in their own communities.
