The Importance Of A Natural Disaster

While I have listed many natural disasters that one would need to prepare for, what about the government failing. Many citizens feel that the government is encroaching on our fundamental rights as Americans. Take for example Jade Helm 15, a military training exercise. While the government is telling us it’s just an exercise so that the everyday citizen can get used to the presence of military in their neighborhoods and in their towns, is that really what’s going on? Or is this just another ploy to have the government take over the American citizens and it turn into another Hitler debacle? Some groups suggest that this is a ruse to implement Martial Law on the citizens. On the other hand though there has been a lot of small terrorist attacks on military bases lately so having the presence of military in the communities might just be a preemptive measure of what’s to come. “The cause of the underlying concerns is that we see instances, like a shooting in Fort Hood by a terrorist, that the President labels workplace violence. We see the President come to the border in Texas and say it’s safer than it’s ever been,” Abbott told Austin-based NBC affiliate KXAN-TV. “And so I think it was a misplaced perception by people in Texas who have problems with the Obama administration and connected that trust with the Obama administration to the military” (Viser). This should be a concern of American. We should be preparing for government fall out, or even something that is happening

There was a family early in the morning at 9ish there was a big black cloud coming towards they all huddled in the middle of the room. They got wet towels and covered there mouth and cracks in the door and windows. When they looked at the black cloud they saw birds flying away and animals running away from the cloud. It was total darkness and there small house was getting hit with dirt really hard. They were in the middle of the room till the sandstorm ended. This happened to a lot of people in different places they were most common in Texas, Kansas, New Mexico and colorado they were hit with hundreds of storms. These big storms are one of the biggest natural disasters in America's history. These big storm threatened so many people of the population.

A natural disaster is a critical phenomenon of a natural process from the earth such as an earthquake, flood, drought or typhoon which impacts significantly on human life and human social activities (March, 2002; Hutton, 2008). These natural disasters suddenly disturb a population everyday life placing them into a helpless state of emergency and suffering. The greater magnitude of the disaster is, the bigger it exerts pressure on the local resources and infrastructure to a breaking point where provision such as medical and nursing care, transportation of food and protection against harsh weather condition is shortage. Also by overwhelming the local resources, the normal smooth running of the community becomes a catastrophic stage (Dilley, et al., 2005; WHO, 2018).

Distressing natural disasters, such as hurricane Irma have devastated the world and caused loss of homes, as well as greatly affecting humanity. According to French Prime Minister, Edouard Philippe of St. Martin, “95 percent of the island’s houses had been damaged and 60 percent were uninhabitable. Earlier, France's interior minister said at least eight people had died.” This devastating hurricane is one of the many examples of how extreme natural disasters negatively impact the world and how dominant Mother Nature is over humanity.

America is a beautiful place, but there are natural disasters that want to ruin America and other countries. If you ever get a warning about a natural disaster is about to hit you you should start by making a plan about how you are going to board up your windows, get food and water, and a medical kit just in case someone gets hurt.

There are a few ways to approach this inevitable problem of natural disasters that we face all around the globe. Megastorm Sandy ran across the Caribbean and the East Coast killing many and causing billions of dollars in damage. As a nation, we are not as nearly as prepared as we need to be. No one was truly prepared for the disaster Sandy left. Before another Megastorm hits the United States, we have to be ready for whatever mother nature throws our way.

Natural disasters have never been an issue for me in the twenty years I have been living in Florida. There have always been the threats of dangerous hurricanes living near the coast, but I never took them seriously. I always thought " they're just little storms, what's the worst that could happen?". I was so naive to think that way.

Disasters of both natural and technological origin have a considerable impact on communities. The effects of disasters in India are significantly reduced by well established counter disaster arrangements at all three levels of government. These arrangements comprise comprehensive plans of prevention, preparedness, response and recovery and in more recent times, of mitigation. The economic effects of disasters can be devastating and widespread. When disasters strike houses, businesses and community infrastructure get damaged or destroyed and people’s livelihoods are temporarily and sometimes permanently disrupted. Physical damage is the most visible economic impact of disasters. Major natural

While natural disasters such as floods, drought and hurricanes are commonly thought to occur due to environmental forces such as weather, climate and tectonic movements; a deeper investigation into the ‘disaster’ displays other contributing forces. Human factors have a large, if not equal, contribution to the occurrance and outcome of such disasters (Pelling, 2001). As Pelling (2001) argues, there is both a physical and human dimension to ‘natural disasters’. The extent to which the natural occurrence of a physical process, such as a flood or earthquake, impacts on society is constructed by that society, creating a ‘disaster’ as measured by a

In the United States losses resulting from natural and man-made disasters have increased significantly due to catastrophic events. The natural and man-made disasters facing the United States can include acts of terrorism, wildland and urban fires, floods, hazardous material spills, nuclear accidents, hurricanes, earthquakes, and more. Emergency management is an essential role of government. The US emergency management is the organization and management of resources and responsibilities in the attempt to reduce the harmful effects of disasters (FEMA, 2010). The emergency management is based on phases of preparedness, mitigation, and recovery addressing extreme events and disasters.

Throughout history there have been many manmade and natural disasters that have created issues for people all over the world. Disasters such as school shootings, hurricanes, earthquakes, and occurrences of pollution have been the cause of many problems, and these problems often have major effects on people and society. Disasters can cause people to lose many things including their lives, and they can have devastating effects on everything and everyone involved. Anytime a disaster occurs people often look to the government for help. Whether it be helping towns, cities, or countries recover after a natural disaster, or investigating a school shooting, the government is always called upon to help in disastrous situations. In some cases, the government can even be blamed for disasters, and this is exactly what happened in Waco Texas in 1993.

Natural Disaster Reduction is a serious topic all countries should be discussing. A study in 2015 recorded around 7,000 natural disasters worldwide, which claimed 1.35 million lives. Natural disasters could be earthquakes, flooding, volcanic eruption, landslide, and hurricanes. The policy objective of anticipating and reducing risk is called disaster risk reduction (DRR). Natural disasters can take lives and also take the homes of many people. The loss of property can be very detrimental to some people. Also hurricanes or flooding can destroy food supply and crops. Over 173 countries are affected by natural disasters. Some of the countries most affected by natural disasters are Costa Rica, Japan, Fiji, Philippines, and Haiti. This affects all countries big and small when disaster strikes a country it can affect the functionality of its community. When natural disasters hits a country the aftermath can cause huge devastation and cost a lot of money. Scientists recorded that three-quarters of economic losses is caused by natural disasters. The US spent $100 billion per year in the last decade on the aftermath of natural disasters. The hurricane season in the Caribbean consists of heavy rains, which may cause flash floods and landslides. Cuba is also located on an active earthquake zone which can also be a huge problem. Some of the most recent hurricanes to hit Cuba were Matthew in 2016 and Irma in 2017.

Flooding is simply a devastating natural phenomenon that can literally wash away human dreams, as well as lives and properties. With a rather very unpredictable weather system spurred by global warming as well as the changing landscape, flooding remains one of man's worst nightmares.

Tropical storms are an incredible threat to humanity. The International Disaster Database (EM-DAT) “recorded 6,873 natural disasters worldwide, which claimed 1.35 million lives or almost 68,000 lives on average each year”(The Human Cost of Natural Disasters 2015). Although shelters are of great use, this form of relief requires days and often weeks to establish. Additionally, shelters must be built by people and assembling teams of volunteers is not always easy or time efficient. This pertinent issue combined with the leftover metal containers from the shipping industry is a blessing in disguise. This “trash” scattered across the world has allowed some individuals to make elaborate designs. For example, incorporating multiple containers to mimic a permanent house. To quickly provide assistance to those negatively affected by tropical storms, mobile relief shelters shall be made from recycled shipping containers.

Three people during a dangerous hurricane try to stay alive, and one person walks to the bathroom. While he is walking to the bathroom a window breaks and a piece of glass cuts him in the neck. They can not call the ambulance because of the hurricane. He later dies in her own home from blood loss. (bleeding to death)I wanted to research on this natural disasters because I want to help make the world safe and its life in the world. I care about the destruction of these natural disasters. There can be a building that is one billion dollars that is just built, then it was destroyed during a tornado or hurricane.The main point or question i’m overall trying to cover is that why don’t we try to stop or predict and help fight the disasters in the world. We can help in a lot of ways to help stop many things from dying or the destruction it causes.I think I can, I will stop this by telling the world that we can help prevent these natural disasters by helping each other to help predict and someday prevent them.
