Natural Calamities
Good morning everyone present here. I am going to express my views on 'Natural Calamities'. Petra Nemcova has very wisely said, “We cannot stop natural calamities 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 calamities 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 calamities such as floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and tornadoes, etc. wreak unprecedented havoc on people and their property. Thousands of people lose life and their possessions.
These calamties can be tackled and handled quite safely if proper warning and safety measures are taken well in advance. It has been observed that these calamities wreaked quite havoc when these calamities 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 calamities 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 calamities. It is not the infrastructure and means we lack; we lack proper attitude to the calamities. So, we must set our attitude right.
Hey ! good evening guys. I am going to express about natural calamities.
Natural calamities are the calamities which are inflicted by God, or Nature, or man and his world. At these calamities, the unseen hand wreaks havoc in the part of the world it chooses to act upon. On these natural activities of nature no scientific or technological developments can wield any control.
They can occur as and when and where ordains it. Natural calamities can be of many different kinds, but the similarly in all, is their massive destruction in the area of their occurrence. The natural disasters are of many kinds, they are drought and famine, flood, earthquake, hailstrom and a cyclone.
In the wake of all these, in one sweep there is complete devastation and destruction, due to which normal life comes to a standstill. Loss of life is well nigh complete, and belongings of people get lost, blown away or swept away. The scene is one of the awe, of some unknown power that appears to wreak some revenge on the people of the area.
One feels that, there will never again be life in the area, there will never again come up any construction in the area. But, nature plays its part in this also, and even after the most ghastly disaster, life has come up blooming as ever as before in areas of such devastation.
