What can you do to prepare for a natural disaster?

Answer 1

A big aspect of disaster management is prepardness.

the preparedness phase emergency managers develops plans of action for when the disaster strikes. Common preparedness measures include the proper maintenance and training of emergency services, the development and exercise of emergency population warning methods combined with emergency shelters and evacuation plans, the stockpiling of supplies and equipment, the development and practice of multi-agency coordination etc. An efficient preparedness measure is an emergency operations center (EOC) combined with a practiced region-wide doctrine for managing emergencies. The purpose of the EOC is to coordinate the activities in the subsequent emergency response phase. Physically, the EOC may only be a couple of cabinets in a conference room combined with a significant group of professionals. The EOC have reliable external communications including access to civil and amateur radio networks.

The basic role of the student, in my opinion, is AWARENESS of what to do during and after disasters. This would lessen panicking, paranoid and uncontrollable people running around. Also, knowing what to do when disaster strikes will also lessen the death toll. Knowing what to do after disaster, and at least basic first aid, will enable students help the authorities in saving lives.

Answer 4

Well for things such a tornadoes it is to get to the lowest part of your house which is the basement or get in the bathroom or a closet. If in a mobile home leave your mobile home and either find a place to take cover or take cover in a ditch. If you are in a cover get in the ditch and cover your head the best you can but, do not get under the car or hide in an overpass. For a hurricane the best thing to do is to evacuate to higher grounds. For things such a flooding is to try and get to higher grounds and never driver or walk through flood waters.
