Environmental pollution is a natural disaster that humanity has suffered over time. Carcasses, animal carcasses, scattered everywhere make the clean air disappear instead of foul air. Life is at stake. Today, there are many good and useful programs on the environment: green knight, golden environment, rubbish hand ... and also people react. But the environment has not been thoroughly improved. There are many ways to protect the environment: do not litter indiscriminately, do not paint, graffiti, ... I myself are also trying to do these things. Everyone let's join hands!

Natural disasters are scary for everyone. Tragic events – whether it’s a hurricane, earthquake, tornado, tsunami or other disaster – are not easy to comprehend or accept even for the most mature.

Although discussing a natural disaster with children is a challenge, it is also very important. Even if your teen hasn’t talked to you about the disaster, there is little doubt that they have heard about it from the Internet, friends, school or other venues. They may have received information that was incorrect or frightening. Parents and teachers should take the opportunity to have a discussion with teens about tragedies. Here are some suggestions from the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry for how to do that:

Create an open and supportive environment where teens know they can ask questions. Be available, positive, and open to all subjects. In listening to children, adults can ease children’s worries by correcting any misunderstandings and confusions. At the same time, it’s best not to force children to talk about things unless, and until, they’re ready. Give children honest answers and information. It is important for teens to discuss the event freely and express their concerns and views. Let them know that you think their questions and concerns are important and appropriate. But stay honest; children will usually know, or eventually find out, if you’re “making things up,” which may affect their ability to trust you in the future. Be prepared to repeat information and explanations several times. Some information may be hard to accept or understand. Asking the same question over and over may also be a way for a teen to ask for reassurance. Remember that children tend to personalize situations. For example, they may worry about their own safety and the safety of immediate family members. They may also worry about friends or relatives who travel or who live far away. It will help alleviate fear if your family develops its own disaster plan so your child feels some level of control over the situation. Be reassuring, but don’t make unrealistic promises. It’s fine to let children know that they are safe in their house or in their school, but you can’t promise that there won’t be another natural disaster. Tweens and teens already understand the impact of natural disasters and have likely discussed them in school. Kids at this age really want to know “why.” Unfortunately, this is one instance where a parent simply doesn’t have all the answers, and you should admit it. Explain that there are events we cannot predict or control, but they are random and rare. Let teens know that lots of people are helping the families affected by the disaster. Identify ways for your child to help. When they reach out to help others in a time of need, children gain self esteem and a sense of how to respond constructively. If available, your children might participate in school or community projects designed to help raise money, supplies and materials for the disaster area. Your child might want to do extra chores or a project to help raise money for the relief funds. Tweens and teens learn from watching their parents and teachers. They are very interested in how you respond to world events so monitor your own reactions and conversations. Let your child know how you feel about the recent events, which can help children talk about their own feelings as well. It is ok if your child does not want to talk about their thoughts or fears, but encourage them to express themselves in another way, such as writing or drawing. Limit your teen’s exposure to media coverage of the event. The repetition of such scenes can be disturbing and confusing.

Children who are preoccupied with questions or concerns about natural disasters should be evaluated by a trained and qualified mental health professional. Signs that a child may need additional help include: ongoing sleep disturbances, intrusive thoughts or worries, and recurring fears about death, leaving parents or going to school. Many children express anxiety through physical aches and pains, such as headaches or stomach aches. An increase in such symptoms without apparent medical cause may be a sign that a child is feeling anxious or overwhelmed. If these behaviors persist, ask your child’s pediatrician, family physician or school counselor to help arrange an appropriate referral.

As parents, teachers and caring adults, we can best help teens cope by listening and responding in an honest, consistent and supportive manner. Fortunately, most children are quite resilient and by creating an open environment where they feel free to ask questions, we can help reduce the risk of lasting emotional difficulties.

Nghe An Province was badly affected again when a typhoon hit the area last night. The storm began at around 11 p.m. and raged thoughout the night. Dozens of people were seriously injured and hundreds of others were left homeless. The severe winds caused extensive damage to property, including homes and businesses, particularly in Cua Lo, a coastal town in Nghe An. The storm had already weakened by the time emergency workers arrived in the area. Rescue operations have started and many people trapped in collapsed or damaged buidings have been freed. Workers are now clearing up the debris left behind by the severe storm. The government has already sent rescue equipment to Nghe An, as well as food and medical supplies. People left homeless have been taken to safe areas, where temporary accommodation will be built to house them. The weather bureau has issued flood warning for Nghe An and nearby provinces as heavy rain is expected to continue over the next few days.

If my memory serves me right, there have been countless disasters happening here in my beloved country, Vietnam. However, the most devastating one that I have ever witnessed was the storm 2 years ago which struck the middle part of Vietnam.

 

A week prior to the invasion of the storm, all TV channels broadcast the news about it, and the government called for the evacuation of people living in the way of the storm’s movement. It was really tough to take people out there within just one week, so the army as well as volunteers joined hands together to accomplish this impossible task. Luckily, around 90% of the population made their way out of the region in time. 
Subsequently, a huge tidal wave crashed down the coastal areas and swept away all houses and other architectural structures. The volume of water was so enormous that nothing could remain unharmed under the destructive force of it. This storm came and brought along the pouring rain for 5 consecutive days, which flooded a vast swathe of land. 

After the storm had subsided, the damage was estimated in terms of casualties and infrastructure. Due to the early evacuation, the number of deaths was limited to a minimal extent, while no building was intact at all. Immediately, all the volunteers and soldiers commenced rebuilding houses, saving injured people and providing survivors with food and fresh water. 

To summarize, this disaster was the most horrible one to ever happen in history and jeopardized almost everything. Therefore, I will never forget this catastrophic event and will learn survival skills to save myself and my family in the future in case of an emergency.

Nếu trí nhớ của tôi đúng thì đã có vô số thảm họa xảy ra ở đây trên đất nước Việt Nam thân yêu. Tuy nhiên, sự tàn khốc nhất mà tôi từng chứng kiến ​​là cơn bão cách đây 2 năm đổ bộ vào miền Trung Việt Nam.

Một tuần trước khi cơn bão ập tới, tất cả các kênh truyền hình đều phát tin tức về cơn bão và chính phủ cũng kêu gọi sơ tán những người sống trên đường di chuyển của cơn bão. Thực sự rất khó khăn để đưa mọi người ra khỏi đó chỉ trong vòng một tuần, vì vậy quân đội cũng như các tình nguyện viên đã chung tay cùng nhau để hoàn thành nhiệm vụ bất khả thi này. May mắn thay, khoảng 90% dân số đã kịp thời rời khỏi khu vực. Sau đó, một đợt thủy triều khổng lồ ập xuống các khu vực ven biển và cuốn trôi tất cả nhà cửa cũng như các công trình kiến ​​trúc khác. Khối lượng của nước khổng lồ đến nỗi không gì có thể bình yên dưới sức tàn phá của nó. Cơn bão này đến và mang theo cơn mưa như trút nước trong 5 ngày liên tiếp, làm ngập một vùng đất rộng lớn.

Sau khi bão tan, thiệt hại đã được ước tính về người và của. Do được sơ tán sớm nên số người chết được hạn chế ở mức tối thiểu, trong khi không có tòa nhà nào còn nguyên vẹn. Ngay lập tức, tất cả các tình nguyện viên và binh lính bắt đầu xây dựng lại nhà cửa, cứu những người bị thương và cung cấp thực phẩm và nước ngọt cho những người sống sót.

Tóm lại, thảm họa này là thảm họa khủng khiếp nhất từng xảy ra trong lịch sử và gây nguy hại cho hầu hết mọi thứ. Vì vậy, tôi sẽ không bao giờ quên sự kiện thảm khốc này và sẽ học các kỹ năng sinh tồn để có thể cứu bản thân và gia đình trong trường hợp khẩn cấp.

Flood is one of the most dangerous disasters in the word.It’s the fact that every flood causes damage not only on property but also on people. Vietnam, the country with S-shape mainland located at Southeast Asia is affected severely by floods, especially int the middle of Viet Nam. Every year, there are about 10-15 floods coming into Viet Nam. The main reason is heavy rain with average annual rainfall from 1500-2000 mm due to its location. The influence of monsoon is also a reason that Vietnam has to be affected by storms and tropical depressions. Furthermore, being next to the sea, tides create floods in lots of regions which have poor drainage systems. Additionally, earth’ warming leads to the rising of sea level and deforestation have made the problem more serious. Floods destroy lands, paddy fields, houses, damage the facilities of middle areas. People lose their home and even lives due to floods. Although Viet Nam always support the local but it take time and right after they reconstruct their life, floods will be going to come again. To stop this, government are finding new modern solutions and giving precautions with warnings as soon as possible. I hope that in the future the Viet Nam will have a more effective solution and the locals in the middle areas will have a better life.

Lũ lụt là một trong những thảm họa nguy hiểm nhất trên thế giới. Thực tế là mọi lũ lụt gây ra thiệt hại không chỉ tài sản mà còn con người. Việt Nam, mảnh đất chữ S nằm ở Đông Nam Á bị ảnh hưởng nặng nề do lũ lụt, đặc biệt là miền trung Việt Nam. Hàng năm có khoảng 10-15 trận lụt xảy ra tại Việt Nam. Lý do chính là mưa lớn với lượng mưa trung bình hàng năm từ 1500-2000 mm do vị trí của nó. Ảnh hưởng của gió mùa cũng là một lý do khiến Việt Nam phải chịu ảnh hưởng của bão và áp thấp nhiệt đới. Hơn nữa, bên cạnh biển, thủy triều gây lũ lụt ở nhiều vùng có hệ thống thoát nước kém. Thêm vào đó, sự nóng lên của Trái Đất dẫn tới sự gia tăng mực nước biển và nạn phá rừng làm cho vấn đề nghiêm trọng hơn. Lũ lụt phá hủy đất đai, ruộng lúa, nhà cửa, làm hư hại các cơ sở vật chất vùng trung lưu. Mọi người mất nhà và thậm chí cả mạng sống do lũ lụt. Mặc dù Việt Nam luôn hỗ trợ các địa phương nhưng phải mất thời gian và ngay sau khi khôi phục lại cuộc sống, lũ sẽ lại xảy ra. Để ngăn chặn điều này, chính phủ đang tìm kiếm giải pháp mới hiện đại và đưa ra các biện pháp phòng ngừa với các cảnh báo càng sớm càng tốt. Tôi hy vọng rằng trong tương lai Việt Nam sẽ có một giải pháp hiệu quả hơn và người dân địa phương ở khu vực miền trung sẽ có một cuộc sống tốt đẹp hơn.

A 'natural disaster' is a major event resulting from natural processes of the Earth. It causes a great loss of life and property. During such disasters, the number of people who are rendered, trippled and houseless is more than the number of people who loose their lives. Even the economy of the place which faces a natural disaster, gets effected.

It is true that a natural disaster is a natural process and we cannot stop it but by making certain preparations, we can reduce the magnitude of the loss to life and property.

Firstly, you should give out food, water, medications and especially money. It is useful to ensure that the rescue worker have the relief fund to provide disasters victims with supply in a timely fashion.

Secondly, many buildings and houses were completely detroyed when natural disasters struck the area. Maybe the people were trapped in homes. We should choose the man who is capable of freeing victims. Then, take them to safe place and contact a local hospital.

Thirdly, you know??? There is a dreadful thing that after the disasters, the debris is scattered throughout the streets, alleys,… It is too dangerous for people to keep under this. So keep out the warning place where is buried by the govement. We can divide into many small groups to clear up the debis quickly.

Only by helping together all by means, can we deal with natural disaster!
