Natural Disasters and Diseases
Lots of Natural Disasters happened from the begging of the world and bring natural diseases. In the last few decades, the rate of these disasters increases drastically also occurring different types of natural diseases from this disaster. Natural Disasters kill an average of 60,000 people per year, globally. These disasters not only take people’s lives but also decrease the economy of any country remarkably. That is why I want to brief about why Natural Disasters occur and how to get rid of this tragedy and build a secure position for the people on earth.
Natural disasters affect us all and how a person reacts and recovers from a natural disaster that will minimize post-traumatic stressors.
Here I will present three main points on Natural disasters and diseases. Firstly, I will explain about Natural disaster and why it happens, including diseases that cause by natural disaster. How to reduce the destruction of disaster after the occurrence and how to re-establish the demolished and wasted materials perfectly. I will discuss briefly it below. I hope the presentation will be informative and helpful.
What is a natural disaster and why it happens?
A natural event occurred from natural geological processes of the earth and it creates huge harm and death toll is called Natural Disaster. For instance, Earthquake, Flood, Tornadoes, Tsunamis, Drought, Volcanic Eruptions, Storms, etc. Natural disasters affect people’s lives in many ways, and it has a great impact on human life that is not fully recoverable. Not only affected people’s life but also damage the economy as well. Sometimes a natural disaster occurs from the outside movement of earth’s crustal plates that trigger earthquakes and tsunamis. Tidal waves, earthquakes, and hurricanes don't simply unleash devastation ashore; they additionally disturb individuals' lives in both thickly populated urban areas and remote towns. A natural disaster is one of the most dangerous occurrences that happen in many ways.
For example, the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami that creates an extent 9.3 quake struck undersea off the west shoreline of Sumatra on Dec. 26, 2004, making a monstrous tidal wave that murdered individuals in 14 separate nations. The general loss of life is assessed at somewhere in the range of 230,000 and 280,000 individuals. In certain spots, particularly hardest-hit Indonesia, the tidal wave arrived at 98 feet (30 meters) in tallness. Indonesia had the most noteworthy loss of life of any nation, with 126,473 affirmed dead and 93,943 absent, as indicated by authentic government figures. Sri Lanka took after, with an add up to of 36,594 dead or lost.
A dry spell is a timeframe when a zone or district encounters underneath typical precipitation. The absence of enough precipitation, either downpour or snow, cause decreased soil dampness or groundwater, reduced stream, crop harm, and a general water lack. Dry spells are the second-most exorbitant climate occasions after storms. Environmental change causes dry spell, the dry spell causes out of control fires; and rapidly spreading fires bring about additional environmental change. Very hot temperatures can compound a dry season by causing clamminess to evaporate from the soil. At the point when practically no downpour falls, soils and plants can dry out. Precipitation is not exactly typical for a certain time to a long time, streamflow’s decrease, for that dry climate remains and water-supply issues create, the dry time frame can turn into a dry season.
For example, the 2010-2011 Texas Drought The agribusiness business in Texas was hit hard by the dry spell of 2010–11. As indicated by the media, from November 2010 to August 1, 2011, Texas endured an expected $5.2 billion in yield and animals’ misfortunes, outperforming the record loss of $4.1 billion of every 2006. Because of record warmth and dry season, fierce out of control fires crushed numerous homes in the region too.
Different types of diseases occur by Natural Disaster.
Aside from the apparent chance that natural disasters present, the secondary consequences can be just as damaging. Typhoons, hurricanes, and tsunamis frequently purpose severe flooding, which can end result in the unfold of waterborne bacteria, diarrhea, and malaria. As a result, health complications can be typical among survivors of natural disasters, and without the assistance of emergency comfort from worldwide aid organizations, losses of life can rise significantly after the instantaneous threat has passed.
Haiti's cholera outbreak used to be fueled through two key challenges frequently posed via disasters: unsafe water and lack of sanitation. The 2010 earthquake left many without access to easy water or bathrooms—including these working and staying at United Nations camps.
Natural disasters can be specifically anxious for younger children. Confronted with scenes of destruction and the deaths of friends and cherished ones, many youngsters increase post-traumatic stress sickness (PTSD), a serious psychological situation resulting from severe trauma. Left untreated, teenagers struggling with PTSD can be inclined to lasting psychological damage and emotional distress. ChildFund works in countries around the world affected through natural failures to assist kids to obtain the psychosocial care and different varieties of the humanitarian aid they need following these irritating events.
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleanians skilled a lot of hardships. More than $100 billion worth of damage used to be finished to houses and businesses, heaps were displaced, and an estimated 1,836 humans died. While the immediate physical damage from the event was once horrifying, the effect on intellectual fitness took longer to understand.
How to fight against Natural disasters and diseases?
Natural means it occurs by nature. The effect of some natural mess-ups can be partially mitigated even though such as with the aid of establishing structures that are resistant to earthquakes, fires, cyclones, etc. Although nobody can prevent natural disasters, we can help human beings in need in their wake with emergency relief. By donating to affected people, educate them, and provide survival training knowledge. Emergency Action Fund, we can help them grant food, easy water, health care, and emotional assist to adolescents and communities displaced by natural disasters. Though the world improves technologically, still human beings cannot fully prevent natural disasters. But we can take some necessary steps to mitigate the destruction after the disaster.
Professionals in emergency management understand that there are continual opportunities to analyze and improve on their existing knowledge. Part of protecting the future of our nation’s communities includes taking a long, challenging appear at what went nicely (and what didn’t go well) in the past. Captain Danko explains how examining previous failures helps cross leaders forward in their understanding of what can also work higher when the subsequent disaster strikes
Prevention and scientific administration must be applied at once to manipulate infectious disorder outbreaks. Regarding diarrheal illnesses (the most reported diseases in post-disaster settings), it is important to emphasize that rehydration therapy remains equal for any etiology of acute gastroenteritis and must start as quickly as possible before the outcomes of different investigations are obtained.
Re-establishing and enhancing the transport of fundamental healthcare through the restoration of affected health services. Besides an ample stage of sanitation, medical elements must be supplied, and coaching healthcare people and scientific personnel on fabulous case management should be conducted. Outreach health people and volunteers can play a vital role by way of informing human beings about the hazard of the on-going outbreaks. They can encourage early referral of patients as well as recommendations on preventive measures to be taken. Community leaders need to make contributions to mobilizing resources and improving surveillance and vaccination things to do
In conclusion, According to the Red Cross, two billion humans have been impacted with the aid of herbal failures over the previous decade. An herbal disaster scene frequently plays out on the news in a familiar way. A flood, hurricane, earthquake, or tsunami is accompanied through the destruction of buildings, homes, and human devastation frequently involving the loss of life. Stepping returned from the heartbreak and emotional aspect of such events; an herbal disaster is the main weather event ensuing from herbal tactics of the Earth. Such examples consist of floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and different less frequent geological movements. By the disaster not only we get losses our economy but also affected our population. Sometimes it takes so many lives and makes the world very crucial. We should take the necessary steps to reduce the losses by educating nations in many ways so that at least we can mitigate the destruction. That was all from me now. Here, I tried my best to present a good and informative presentation. We, human beings love peace and want to keep our world without any disaster because we love our world. After all, a calm world can give us a peaceful place to live. Thank you for your kind attention.
