National Disaster Resilience Month
“Kahandaaan sa Sakunat’t Peligro para sa tunay na Pagbabago”
Disasters
are often unexpected by their very nature, leaving little time, if any, to
prepare. That is why it is so important to put time into planning and
preparation long before the disaster strikes. Indeed, hospitals, food banks,
human and animal shelters, and other nonprofits are integrated into most
response and recovery efforts during emergencies.
The Philippines has suffered from an
inexhaustible number of deadly typhoons, earthquakes, volcano eruptions and
other natural disasters. This is due to its location along the Pacific Ring of
Fire, or typhoon belt- a large Pacific Ocean region where many of Earth’s
volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur. The Philippines is in fact the
country most exposed to tropical storms in the world.
A
natural disaster can occur at any time. Disasters give warnings but some people
just ignore it. Such earthquakes, give a little or no warning. Once a disaster
happens, the time to prepare is gone. The best way to cope with a natural
disaster is to prepare by having a plan before it strikes and not just going to
ignore it.
As a result of disasters, people may
be injured or killed, or may lose their homes and valuable possessions. It is
important to protect your family, home, assets.
Taking
steps to prepare for a disaster can help get you back to normal faster. If you
are unprepared, the devastation and financial loss caused by natural disasters
can be magnified so better to be prepared to this so that you will not regret
in the near future.
