NATURAL DISASTERS
Dear all,
The weather is changing globally due to global warming. We should be ready for natural disasters like earthquakes, tornadoes, sea storms, ice storms, floods, etc. Many countries are facing this situation in worse-than-ever form. Some of them are developed countries, but they know that it is better to wait for it patiently and let it pass. They are already equipped to deal with such disasters, but sometimes all preparation seems not enough. Actually, these are unstoppable, and we are helpless against them. We are now able to predict some of them but cannot judge the consequences. It is just on estimations and forecasts.
As civilized people, what we can do in such a situation is just to be vigilant and get appropriate training to face these natural disasters. I admire the role of telecommunication and the internet in this regard, as they are flooding us with information on precautions and security measures to meet this situation. We should carefully listen and understand the steps for security and also train our children. Awareness is the key to handling such circumstances. It also helps rescue teams in crucial times.
I followed all the CNN transmission regarding “Irma”; that was remarkable. All people were alert and abiding by the rules. But I was disappointed to see a few people wandering and enjoying the beach with their kids and pets. It was high alert at that time, but “who cares”. They were capturing the view in their eyes and cameras just to upload an image or video on social sites. Police had arrested many for the violation, but we should also keep in mind that police and other rescue teams were deputed to help the victims. It is a waste of time and resources to engage them in such activities. Also, it was not a picnic time, and hurricanes and tornadoes do not spare anybody.
If someone is willing to help others and also wants to come out at this time, proper training should be the foremost priority for them. This training should be according to your geographical situation. On normal days, enlist yourself in rescue platforms. They will definitely call you to join them in such noble efforts. Help others and enjoy being human. At least, we can do something for ourselves, family and neighbors.
Being human, we always stand up after being hurt or damaged. It is a human spirit that helps us fight against natural disasters. We are all in one string of humanity; people from the world are always standing with victims of all natural disasters. Whenever an earthquake hits in a developed country, all countries on the globe and their people come forward and contribute to reconstruction. Help is not limited to finance; we can show the whole world a gesture of being together in all calamities. We can share their grievances. This is the least we can do for others. Long live humanity.
Best regards.
