On 25 April 2015, a massive earthquake of 7.8 magnitude struck 77 km north-east of Nepal
's capital Kathmandu.It was the modt powerful earthquake to have hit Nepal since 1934. It
led to heavy loss of life and property. During this earthquake four men were trapped under
the 10 feet rubble.They were rescued by NASA technology ,Finder (finding individuals for
disaster and emergency response) which sensed their heartbeats. This was the first time
when this technology was used in real-life situation. This is indeed a big step towards diaster
management. But this, in no way, reduces our responsibilities as human beings.
ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUES.:-
1).Under the circumstances, what best can we do after such a diaster?
2)Suggest any five ways in which we can help the victims of other types of diasters.
PLZZZ ITS URGENT .....

1. The government reconstruction authority focuses on improving shelter and reducing disaster risks. Seventy percent of people displaced by the quakes still live in substandard temporary shelters,making them especially susceptible to monsoon flooding and cold winters.
Prior to the earthquake, many organizations had served more than 1.2 million people with maternal and child health; education; child protection; livelihood support; and water, sanitation, and hygiene projects. Knowing Nepal is very vulnerable to earthquakes, we had also begun a disaster preparedness program. In Lalitpur and Rupandehi districts, we had trained 65,000 children and adults how to reduce their risks in case of disaster and retrofitted community buildings with earthquake-resistant construction. We can always donate to these organisations and help them.
2. Here are 10 ways you can really assist families who have been impacted by natural disasters.
a)Donate money. It’s simple to do, but usually the most effective and efficient way to help. Relief organizations are in constant need of financial support. You’ll want to be wary of illegitimate organizations – they can pop up after all kinds of tragedies, unfortunately. To make sure your donation is truly going toward helping families affected by disaster, donate to an organization that is well-established and is transparent about funding. Funds can help families in all kinds of ways – your donation may buy food, household supplies, or even pay for lodging or medical care. A reputable charity should be able to give you clear answers about how your donation will be used.
b)Foster pets. Pets are often displaced during natural disasters or they may not be able to remain with families who are forced to evacuate. If your area remains unthreatened, you can offer to house and care for pets who might otherwise be abandoned. You can make personal arrangements or connect with animal organizations in your region to help.
c)Provide diapers. Diapers are often in short supply in shelters and during the aftermath, especially for families who have been hit financially by natural disaster. Contact relief organizations and reach out to shelter leaders to ask about their diaper needs.
d)Give blood. Particularly devastating natural disasters are likely to cause severe injury. Donating blood is always a great thing to do for your community, especially when a surge in injuries causes a dip in supply at the blood banks.
e)Offer childcare. Many parents in areas struck by natural disaster find themselves with a huge mess to clean up – both literally and figuratively! Help these parents out by offering to watch their kids while they piece their lives back together. They are likely dealing with all kinds of stressful situations:returning to work or finding a new job, locating missing family members, finding a new home or dealing with extensive repairs… the details can seem unending. Children will also benefit from having a calm and attentive caregiver as they deal with a traumatic life event.
f)Check before you send donated items. Often, certain items like clothing are not needed and can actually hinder relief workers by causing excess clutter and taking up valuable man-hours to deal with. Check with area relief organizations, community members, and shelters to find out which supplies are actually needed before you send donated items. If you’re in doubt, refer to #1 and send money instead.
g)Open your home. Whether you open your home for a meal, or if you have an extra room to share with a displaced disaster victim, opening your home in any capacity can be helpful. I’ve seen community members even open up their internet connection by getting rid of the password and renaming the network “FREE WIFI” during stressful, uncertain times.
h)Get medical training. Basic medical and first aid knowledge puts you in a position to help others in the event of a natural disaster.
i)Go where you’re needed. Volunteers could be needed, especially if you have certain skills. Construction skills, medical knowledge, and organizational experience are all usually in demand during these times. On the other hand, clothes and excess donations aren’t the only thing that can hinder the work of relief organizations – some leaders have experienced an excess of bodies. We all want to be helpful, but in some situations, too many people heading to a disaster area can have the opposite effect. If your particular skills aren’t needed, you may end up being more of a drain on resources than you are a helpful volunteer. There are many ways to help, as evidenced here, so call ahead and ask about current needs before you volunteer and if you do feel like you might just be “taking up space” at a volunteer site, don’t be afraid to ask leaders where you might be more helpful.
j)Prepare your family well. The more prepared you are as a family, the less likely you are to need help from relief workers during a natural disaster – which frees them up to help others.
