 CALAMITIES PREVENTION

 Calamity disasters are very unpredictable, it includes; Typhoons, Earthquakes,Flooding that cause landslide and etc...

A natural disaster is a natural process or phenomenon that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage.
Various phenomena like earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, tsunamis, and cyclones are all natural hazards that kill thousands of people and destroy billions of dollars of habitat and property each year. However, the rapid growth of the world's population and its increased concentration often in hazardous environments has escalated both the frequency and severity of disasters. With the tropical climate and unstable landforms, coupled with deforestation, unplanned growth proliferation, non-engineered constructions make the disaster-prone areas more vulnerable. Developing countries suffer more or less chronically from natural disasters due to ineffective communication combined with insufficient budgetary allocation for disaster prevention and management. Asia tops the list of casualties caused by natural hazards.

  

Protect the Environment and Prevent Natural Disasters

The principal international objectives in this area are:

• Improve the capacity of each country to lessen the effects of natural disasters by applying early warning systems.
• Promote scientific and technical knowledge to reduce human and material losses.
• Offer countries technical assistance that works based on prevention, evaluation and diagnostic protocols to lessen natural disasters.
• Provide technology to affected regions and encourage educational and training projects.

Environmental conservation has special relevance in avoiding natural disasters. It has been proven that climate change and global warming contribute to the increase in meteorological imbalances and, along with this, natural disasters. Regarding this point, the involvement of businesses in environmental conservation is one of the keys to prevention.

The latest international agreement on the road to natural disaster reduction is the Hyogo Framework for Action. Signed in Japan in 2005, in this agreement 168 countries commit to introducing risk prevention and evaluation measures into public policies, as well as protocols for action before, during and after natural disasters. Finally, there is a series of principals aligned with the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction that the international community commits to respecting to promote the safety of all people.
