Role of students in mitigating the disaster of sunstroke.

Answer 1

We often forget what a real emergency is until we are reminded by a disaster such as a hurricane, flood or fire. Emergencies and disasters can occur anytime, anywhere. Some are primarily seasonal and allow for certain preparations; others occur swiftly and without warning.

Planning ahead and making provision for your family's needs can make a big difference in your ability to cope with emergencies. Communications, transportation, utilities and other essential services could be disrupted by disasters, forcing you to rely initially on your own resources for food, water, first aid, transportation, and shelter.

Following is general information from FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, for personal and family emergency preparedness for a variety of natural and man-made disasters and emergencies.

· Be Informed

· Develop a Family Plan

· Stockpile Food and Supplies

·Be Prepared to Evacuate

· After the Emergency

Combining these tips, with specific instructions at the time of the disaster will help you be better prepared for any problems.
