Natural disasters can be destructive, they can wreak havoc across large areas and cause loss of life or damage to property. We cannot prevent natural disasters, but we can prepare for them. The first step is to learn about the risks in your area and read the information about natural disasters on local government sites. Next, find out what the rescue and emergency workers advise. These people have been trained to deal with disasters, have been through lots of them and know how to help. Make sure you have all the emergency contact numbers entered in your mobile phone. It is also important that you put together an emergency supply kit. Your emergency supply kit should include food, water Medications, personal hygiene items, copies of personal documents and some money. You may also need some extra clothing if you live in a cold climate.
2. What is the second step to prepare for natural disasters?
Evacuate people out of dangerous areas where safety is not guaranteed; focus on implementing measures to ensure safety for people, especially vulnerable subjects in emergency natural disaster situations. Move boats and means of aquaculture on the sea, along the coast, and on rivers out of the danger zone; organize the tally, guide ships to anchor, or take other measures to ensure safety. Take measures to ensure the safety of houses, offices, hospitals, schools, warehouses, constructions, and economic, security, and defense establishments.
