Natural disasters
- phenomenon that has
an strong impact over
the economic and social
wellbeing of a
community or a country,
because of the
destructive power that
they have, which causes
the loss of a great
numbers of lifes and
properties
- The recovery of properties damaged
- one can picture a natural disaster as a time line consisting on three different
periods. Period 1: losses of buildings, highways and other infrastructure (direct
losses) in period 2, indirect losses such as lost output and reductions in
employment, leisure time and taxable receipts occur. Finally in period 3 a
recovery ensues: rebuilding and cleanup efforts generate temporary increases
in retail sales such as construction materials and nonperishable items like
batteries, charcoal and canned foodstufs. Damaged goods like clothing,
furniture and other household items are replaced and roads, bridges or other
structures are rebuilt.
- Prediction of a natural disaster
- as natural disasters have been increasing, scientist have took really
innovating ideas for predicting those kind of events, the problem is that
humans have not take awarness of the increasing number of tsunamis,
earthquakes, to name a few of this phenomenons. An idea that scientist
are studying is the use of birds for predicting the weather condition that
change drasticcly when a tornado is coming by for example, there are
some machines
- How do gobernments recover after a natural disaster
- in the U.S.A for example the local governments emergency services install a central field
office where all the affected members of a community can receive any kinds of help, like
shelter, food or medical services.This process has different steps depemnding on the
importance on the reach of the natural disaster. STEPS: - Reponse of the local
government and neighboring communities. - response of the stade with entities like the
national guard. - the inclution of federal agencies which determinate the losses and the
recovery needs. - major disaster declaration form the governor . - The FEMA recommends
action to be taken to the white house. - the president aproves the request.
