Topic: Flood the natural disaster (Read 645 times)

There are still many people in my country who do not dispose of unused household waste due to ignorance. Especially dumping in rivers or drains. As a result the drainage system becomes sub-optimal and the area becomes waterlogged during light rains. It is also a type of natural disaster which is man-made i.e. we create it. But from a larger perspective flood control is something that can only be solved if a country is aware of it. For example, if a country dams flowing rivers to solve its internal problems or for its benefit and opens them up every monsoon season to drain excess water, there is a strong possibility that other countries will be flooded every monsoon season. And if dams are constructed in seasons other than floods, it will lead to drought. So to save from natural calamities like floods we need positive intervention of all countries along with our own awareness so that a country does not face losses in natural calamities or can recover quickly even if it is drowned in losses.

Yes, they are too slow but they can also help by taking various initiatives to help minimize the impacts of flooding, in the immediate and distant futures. For example, they can improve flood predicting and alert systems, giving people enough time to escape if necessary. They may also put money in facilities, such as flood protection and channels for drainage, to keep towns safe from flooding. In the long run, governments can try to minimize emissions of carbon dioxide that contribute to climate change. They can also help farmers with things like agricultural insurance and disaster assistance. All of these methods can assist to strengthen local resistance to flooding and protect the livelihoods of individuals.

Flood have really damaged so many things and have also taken so many live, and I thank God that it did not com last year

Government have the capacity to stop this flood, that is affecting some countries every raining season to destroy people properties, farmers crops and other things just to cause hardship in the land but government is avoiding their responsibility not to budget some money that will reach the people  to tackle the situation.

Now that some countries has enter the raining season already and all those politicians that promised such people to end the flood disaster during campaigns rally will not be allow such society to come close their office because, they know what they are coming to do in their office and this is not what one person can do in a society to stop the flood disaster without the support of the government.

There are lot of agencies in control and manages the roles of floods. The national emergency management agency  known as (NEMA) is  a government institution that regulates the disasterous circumstances of floods.
There are also international flooding institutes which are EMO and the UNESCO flood management organizations, a program in response to floods occurances in an international relationship.

The rate concurring of floods this time around is a caused of lack of urban planning or ignorance of water threats. People don't make easy flows of water by the drainages anymore, they littered and blocked the water ways including fast approach of development in such that people now build structure towards water on forcefully chasing and redirecting the water to when the closer by damp has accumulated as much amount of water it can handle them the water overflows and finds its way to flow irresistibly nomatter what crosses its way to It makes the situation unbearable for those who dared it by occupying its axis.
So if we can keep our drainages clean and avoid the waterways and also create a more accomodating damp to consume more or the water during overflows then it would be marginal to be manageable. Hence the water disasterous pressures would wouldn't be so intensive but would be a calming situation.

in reality we know that flood can cause significant
material losses and include affected people.

,with a huge loss such as a damaged ecosystem and to restore it takes a long time  and to
overcome it is  difficult because it repeats it self every year.

Thats really sad but we are helpless. We are so advance now then before but even having world advance technology, we still unable to stop such nature disesters and as a result, trillion of dollar worth property get damaged as well as many lives have been lost.  Btw many organizations are working to alert people Earlier, reduce losses and from dengerous. And yeah many organizations are available to help people who are become victim of such natural disasters. Even governments also help people with their best effort

The fact is that natural disasters never bring news of their arrival, but various institutions can predict the arrival of these disasters even though the accuracy level is below 50%, flood disasters can actually be prevented with many aspects that must be taken. One of the core elements of flood prevention is human resources. Why so ? humans become actors in flood disasters, humans who throw rubbish carelessly into rivers, humans who selfishly cut trees blindly. Of course, this can really minimize flood disasters if no one does this bad habit anymore. Infiltration wells to deal with flood disasters have recently become very trendy, after the Governor of DKI Jakarta (Indonesia) Anies Rasyid Baswedan succeeded in changing Jakarta, which was prone to flooding every rainy season, to zero cases of flooding in Jakarta. Of course, in this modern era, cities/villages which are prone to flood disasters, absorption wells are considered very effective in dealing with flood disasters. In essence, preventing flood disasters is changing the bad habits of the population. do not throw rubbish carelessly into rivers or small drains. ..

The natural disaster might be difficult to be avoided but it is always better for a quick evaluation. Flood is also natural disaster that can be prevented or reduced in damages to the environment. Food is very important for life and continuity and we need to be wise and trying much to bring technology that would reduce the impact of food vectors because this is one of the main reasons why we do have food shortages. People could plants more but avestt little because of damages to plants.

Although floods are natural disasters, they are largely caused by our actions. Because it is increasing day by day due to climate change. Floods are usually caused by snowmelt due to excess rainfall due to river filling due to landslides or other causes of drainage obstruction such as dams. Due to global warming the temperature of the earth is increasing day by day and the polar ice caps are slowly melting which is causing floods. Different types of floods such as regional floods riverine floods estuarine floods and coastal area floods urban floods when analyzing the causes of these floods, it can be seen that they are caused by climate change. So we need to be environmentally conscious now and plant more trees and every country should take the necessary steps to reduce global warming.

Floods are disasters caused by nature with negative consequences. It may also result in deaths, destruction of property, and other implications. It can spread illness caused by water such as cholera, malaria, and typhoid through mosquito bites, which can take time to recover from. So we need to notify people before the flood strikes, or better yet, build structures or areas where water will discharge. These advances can assist reduce the amount of water that enters the drainage ditches while also improving the condition of the water. Although certain floods are caused by humans, such as rainforest and a faulty sewage system, we are asked to take measures to reduce the effects of flooding on society.

I’m not sure if it can be fixed but the best that be done is to prepare for it. The places that get flooded are known for it, hence, the residents of such cities should always be prepared. I believe that the government should be able to warn residents while it is early while they implement drainage systems and creating structures that can resist flood. Natural disasters are really difficult to tackle, be it flood, tornadoes, wildfire, volcanic eruption, etc.

Individual countries need to work on food security because when flood happen, there is always problem to the supply of food.
Flood is a big case that needed to be looked into and all prevalent means to reduce the effect of flood on food chains should be adjusted or rectified. There are regions that flood had been there problem and planting and doing other things had been a problem for them that had made people to relocate from such environment.

Many agencies or institution are into flood stuff, but what you need to know is that there is nothing anyone can do about it, they only this people can do is to avoid building in the water ways and dredging shanties, this will help the water not to look for alternative means to flow which may result to the flood itself.

Flood is a natural phenomenon that's bound to happen, another thing people can do is that when they get information from the government agency or international communities about eminent flood and the need to prepared for it, and again the government will have to provide an emergency evacuation plan to remedy the situation.

Man cannot interfere with the laws of nature.Currently, due to global warming, the level of natural disasters around the world has increased a lot. One of the causes of global warming is building more factories. You said that flood is a natural disaster to prevent this natural disaster people do different things but they cannot do it properly. Our country has floods every year and every year there is a huge loss of crops of farmers and even many houses are destroyed due to river erosion.

How can an organization tackle floods around the globe? Practically impossible.
Nowadays, due to global warming and climate change, more and more underdeveloped countries are facing challenges like floods, lack of rain etc. My country is also facing the same threats.

The only possible solution to this problem is to cut global carbon emissions. The developed countries are already behind schedule on this goal. At the individual country level, there should be proactive measures to reduce the impact of floods on the people by making dams and water reservoirs.

It is estimated by the UN Environment Program (UNEP) that global carbon emissions must be cut by 42% by 2030 to meet the Paris Agreement's target of keeping climate change below 1.5C.

Yes flood is a natural disaster.  But we are somehow responsible for most of the floods.  We are polluting the environment so much that the climate is changing abnormally.  River filling is one of them.  There are also many problems for throwing plastic, garbage. First we need to be aware. Because we are harming ourselves without our knowledge. And we need to build an organization that will help the flood affected people. They will be relocated before the flood destroys them all.  .and will arrange for rehabilitation after the flood.

Food disaster is a very serious topic we need to talk about because there are still people that are suffering today because of insufficient availability of food. We need to know what we are doing as a country so that people don't keep suffering because of food shortage.
The war that is going on now could bring a disaster to us as people if it affect food supply chains.
Food is alvery important for every man because it is what keep us going as a humans.

I think you should pitch your exact idea instead. Insurance is the way you can do it other wise look for NPOs

Flood is a natural disaster meaning it is caused by nature.And it causes damage to properties, wildlife etc.In my country it has become a yearly occurence but it wasn't experienced last year.Flood as a natural disaster it's natural when it is caused by heavy rainfall, climate change and it is artificial when it is caused by poor drainage or structures, release of water from neighbouring countries.
                          Effect of Flood
1.Loss of Lives:When there is a flood, people and animals loss their lives.Which causes reduction in population.
2.Loss of Properties:When there is a flood, people loss their properties.In search of comfort, victims of flood leave their valuables in order to protect their lives and the valuables get damaged after the flood.
3.Migration: Migration is also one major effect of flood that reduce population in an area.When there is a flood, people migrate to areas that are not affected by flood and may never choose to return.
