Natural Disasters
Good morning everyone present here. I am going to express my views on 'Natural Disasters'. Petra Nemcova has very wisely said, “We cannot stop natural disasters but we can arm ourselves with knowledge: so many lives wouldn't have to be lost if there was enough disaster preparedness.” It is quite true life is uncertain and unpredictable only for those who don’t prepare themselves for its uncertainties. Many people lose their life on account of some large scale natural disasters and catastrophes. This large scale loss of property and human life could be prevented if proper preventive measures are taken. Usually the human beings become aware and proactive only after the tragedy strikes its deadly blow!
Natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and tornadoes can be tackled and handled quite safely if proper warning and safety measures are taken well in advance. It has been observed that these disasters wreaked quite havoc when these disasters took the victims by surprise. Wherever there was a warning, and preparedness, there was less destruction and loss.
With all the technological advancement, it is possible now to predict natural disasters well in advance. The weather satellites orbiting the earth, the early warning systems installed at key locations are already doing wonders in keeping millions of people safe.
The need of the hour is Government and people along with the prediction mechanism further must work more proactively to be prepared for natural disasters. It is not the infrastructure and means we lack; we lack proper attitude to the disasters. So, we must set our attitude right.
Good morning excellencies, teachers ad my dear friends. Today, I, ABC stand before you to speak on the topic, 'Natural disaster.'
When any catastrophic event is caused by the natural process of the earth is referred to as a natural disaster. With the economic and life loss the severity of the natural disaster is measured. Natural disasters have the ability to cause a loss in some way or the other. It includes freezing to death, falling of trees on houses and people, heat stroke or being washed away. Also, along with the loss of life, there is the loss of property as well which directly affects the livelihood, transportation, living quarters and so forth of the people. As the years are passing by the natural disaster are affecting people in a large number. The frequency of natural disasters like flood, earthquake, drought and so forth and increased numerously. However, with much hard work, scientists try to predict the disaster and try to prevent as much damage as possible.
Thank you.
