Disasters can be defined as an event that causes a lot of damage or loss of life in a community. These disasters are brought upon us by hazards such as open canals or faulty wiring. This then raises risk for a potential disaster to occur. In order to avoid risks and disasters, disaster and reduction management should be used. DRRM aims to educate anyone with the proper knowledge to prevent a disaster or when one occurs. It assesses vulnerabilities and capacities, the ability to be harmed and the ability to avoid harm, to fix problems in a community.
We should promote participatory
management of disasters by training people who will teach everyone else to
further enhance the probability of reducing disasters and risk. This in turn
develops disaster resilience, the ability of communities, organizations,
individuals or states to adapt to and recover from hazards presented by the
surroundings.
Like bamboo, we should be able to
bend to whatever is thrown at us and be resilient to anything that we face.
Life is also sudden. We sometimes
have to help without thinking like a game of Bahay-Bagyo-Tao, letting strangers
stay in for the night or taking shelter in unknown places when we have to. We
also have to be prepared to give first aid and or basic life support when
disasters like storms or earthquakes happen as it is our duty to help others in
need.
