Disaster Preparedness Plans

Disasters ferocity can never be assumed or predicted which makes it essential to have knowledge and ideas on disaster or emergency management. Disaster preparedness is the only way to reduce any impact that comes along with them. Depending on the type of disaster, the prepared measures should differ as well.

Certain regions and places are more prone to disaster in comparison to others due to various reasons. For example Japan has suffered many earthquakes throughout the decades because of its location. Every country must have disaster support team which can work during time of emergencies. While developed countries are very active in such cases, developing countries lack behind. Government of developed countries understands the impacts that disasters brings and acts according to it.

Often in any disaster, it is the marginalized and poor ones who have to face the most difficulty. Since, they already live in basic income and necessity; disasters destroy everything remaining with them. Government must play the most vital role when it comes to educating and communicating with people in case of disaster. Disaster preparedness includes a lot of things including the necessity for better communication among community people to constructing better houses.

Countries like Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Haiti and many others have always been disaster-ridden countries. Earthquakes, landslides and flood are commonly occurring events which kills thousands of people and yet government hasn't been able to do much to help them. People do not need new materials or high standard programs to aware them, all they need is information on building better houses, forming better strategies and learning effective alert systems. All these things doesn't require huge capital or money, people just need technical information which they can share together in a community.

Having a community-based program encourages people to have better understanding. Technical information can be gathered from lots of different source and Practical Answers being an online resource centre has been providing its free information to the under-privileged ones. Their information is practical which has helped many developing countries to learn about things related to pre-disaster and post-disaster.  Emergency plan during disaster is the only way to survive it.
