Don't be scared, be prepared:
When it comes to natural disasters like earthquakes, floods and tsunamis, decades of development like buildings, flyovers, dams, institutions, all get destroyed in an instant. Less people die but more become crippled. Thus, livelihoods are severely affected. So, as a country prone to natural disasters, we need to prepare ourselves with additional funds for such times.
As we are aware, a lot has been said and written about the cause of such natural disasters, global warming being one of them. Yet, no action is being taken. Vehicular traffic is one such reason that is contributing towards global warming throughout the world. Burning fossil fuels is yet another. Unplanned urbanization is another reason. But the root cause of all is man’s greed for more and more, as he is not prepared to spare even the earth where he lives in for the purpose.
Like many developed countries that are taking measures to be prepared, in India too we need to be proactive in our approach to tackle future disasters. Technology like advance warning systems, building buildings that can withstand earthquakes are just some of the things that we can do. Other than that, insurance schemes especially meant for natural disasters need to be introduced by the Government. The general masses also need to be educated about evacuation procedures. Government institutions, corporate, schools and colleges should have initiatives for the same. Because when a disaster strikes, help must be ready in an instant. We cannot lose time leveraging resources during such times.
People worldwide have faced unprecedented catastrophe. As the pace and intensity of disasters grows, fuelled by climate change and lack of government foresight, people believe that the poorest communities must be better able to prevent their worst effects.
The headlines talk about the response: raising money, rescuing people from the rubble, rebuilding homes washed away by tsunami waves. What is not a story is survival: what happens when, because of simple steps, people are saved.
Disasters may be natural. But their consequences are not. Many low-cost steps can be taken to reduce the impact of disasters. It is crucial that the local community is involved in disaster risk reduction. Simple advance warning systems are essential. Buildings can be constructed to withstand earthquakes and crop diversification can help ensure people have enough to eat.
hope this helps you.....
