Answers
Answer:
A natural disaster can occur at any time. Some disasters give a warning, such as a storm preceding a flood. Others, such as earthquakes, give little or no warning. Once a disaster happens, the time to prepare is gone.
The best way to cope with a natural disaster is to prepare by having a plan before it strikes.
Disasters vary in size, from smaller events such as a storm affecting a single suburb, to large-scale events that can affect whole cities or large areas that cross state boundaries.
As a result of disasters, people may be injured or killed, or may lose their homes and valuable possessions.
It is important to protect your family, home, business and assets from such events. Insurers provide society with the means to do this. Following a natural disaster, insurance companies can pay claims to policyholders with the right policies who are affected, allowing communities to rebuild.
Taking steps to prepare for a disaster can help get you back to normal faster. If you are unprepared, the devastation and financial loss caused by natural disasters can be magnified.

Soooo sorry for answering this question
Your Question:-
write a news report on the inefficient and insufficient types of drainage system in all large cities that is causing a great havoc to the residents
He said steps have been taken at some places to ban use of plastic bag but it should be enforced strictly.
Mr Sharma said that prediction of the meteorological department are fairly accurate and authorities can issue timely alerts to people in case there is prediction of very heavy rainfall. “This will also help prevent loss of life,” he said.
Santosh Kumar, a professor at the National Institute of Disaster Management with expertise in disaster risk reduction and policy planning, said climate change was also a factor in cities getting excessive rainfall.
“Urban flooding occurs when water flows into an urban region faster than it can be absorbed into the soil. Earlier, a city received such amount of rainfall in two to three weeks,” Mr Kumar said, referring to Mumbai getting 350 mm rainfall on August 29-30. He said the cities do not have spaces to absorb the excess water or to store it.
He said steps should be taken to improve garbage disposal and ensure that plastics do not find their way to drains.
Vinod Kumar Jain, director of NGO Tapas which works in revival of water bodies in Delhi, said “water harvesting can play a significant role in reducing the chances of flooding in urban areas.”
Rainwater harvesting refers to trapping and storing rainwater so that it can be used at a later time when the need arises.
Heavy rainfall in Delhi last month had flooded roads and caused huge traffic snarls. On August 19, many parts of Chandigarh were flooded due to heavy rains. Chennai had witnessed severe flooding in 2015 while floods in Mumbai in 2005 had killed over 500 people.
