Topic: Flood the natural disaster - page 4. (Read 645 times)

As you refer to it, a "natural disaster." Since humans are powerless over natural disasters and must instead take measures, I believe that every country should create a disaster management organization that will handle all natural disasters. Like in my country, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) is in charge of managing all disasters. I have worked with NEMA once, and at the time I thought they did nothing, but later I realized that they were doing something, even though the work was extremely risky because they had to respond to the disaster in order to save lives and property. They give the sufferer clothing, food, and other necessities. The only thing that humans can do is control natural disasters; they cannot be stopped.

Indeed flood is rampageous and disasterous occurrences for the livings which has to an extend supposed to have had its worldwide organizational controlling body but unfortunately there is no rather each countries and regions do have their own organisation to tackle the floods in its residences.
But however,  there maybe some recognized organizations associated to flood preventive guides on
risk managements and affirmative measures related to flooding control which are the "United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction "(UNDRR), The "International Commission on Irrigation and Drainages" (ICID) and the PIANC

However, the cause and ease of flooding is logically what we know that is a cause of over wide range of developments aheading the Water paths leaving its broad
flow a narrow and the negligence to build and maintenance drainages within our societies.
And advisable that every flood experiencing places should have a dam to fit accumulate as much quantity rises of water to minimize an overflow in the society.

Flood is a natural calamity it is known to all but due to some wrong decisions made by human beings now the flood situation is taking such a dire shape Floods due to damming climate change are causing a lot of long-term damage. Millions of people are living in extreme poverty every year due to these natural disasters, especially in South Asian countries Every year the damage is huge. According to various climate organizations, by the year 2050 the temperature of the world will increase due to the rise in the sea level and there is a possibility that most of the oceans will be submerged underwater.Various environmental organizations have repeatedly demanded that states that are neglected by floods every year should be given large sums of aid to build flood defenses and deal with post-flood challenges are urging to pay for but the countries of the developed world are not paying attention to them, only saying they will give but not giving We must all come together to protect ourselves from this natural calamity.It is our responsibility to protect the natural environment so all the citizens should regularly plant trees to prevent environmental damage, and it should be the responsibility of the state to get out of this flood as much as possible If possible, many lives or damages will be avoided, and many people will be saved from danger Finally I want to say that flood is a natural calamity but at present life is not seen in different times or in different states because of which man gives.

The organization should enforce planting of tree. At least a new born baby should have a tree planted in their name at their first birthday and by this we are going to have green house revolution and by the next ten years there will be lots of vegetable that will give the ozone depletion more coverage because it is the falling of trees and burning of them that depletes the ozone as carbon and harmful gases from the activists of human.

Natural disasters are brought on by our own deeds and the way many of us treat the environment. Before a flood occurs, people are typically warned of its impending arrival, and its effects are never pleasant because of the property damage it causes and the number of lives it sometimes claims. The farmer will feel hurt because of the harm done and the money she spent putting in the farm because it sweeps a lot of the fruit. If you interview someone who has been impacted, you will understand that it was a terrible experience. Due to climate change a lot of places will experience heavy rainfall.

Flooding is for sure a natural disaster and as well as loss of life and damage to property
it also ruins peoples way of making a living particularly farming.

Its the flash floods after a long dry spell which can cause a lot of damage, the ground
can be baked hard before heavy rain and the water cannot soak but flow instead.

Climate change is the cause as we are told but as we have seen governments are slow to act.

Just like what you said flood is a natural disaster. Flood has been destroying peoples properties, crops, taking lives. For the past 3 years flood has been one of the major topic in my country, but have we thought of what we can do to prevent this flood.

I can still remember last year when my country experienced flooding, and it was very embarrassing, but governments maked sure the citizens are safe. People who properties were were destroyed, government provided a house, foams, free food stuffs at that time, but still yet people where not happy due to the destroying of properties.
Knowing the fact that flood is natural but it can be limited.
How can flooding be limited, constructing of rivers, drainage, canals, will limit the flood, by so doing the flood can flow to the drainage and canals.

We people are liable for this. We cutting trees and jungles and making homes which change the environment. These disasters will be there and all we can do is be ready to face it. Help others when they need help. A single or a couple of hundred organizations won't be able to help everyone. Moreover, I believe most of the organizations are corrupted. If they get $10 Million from the donation, they spend $1 Million for the people and $9 million to run the organization. They have many expenses including giving salary to their staff.

There's Greenpeace and they're all for the good of the world including the natural resources and that's what they're campaign which includes climate change and everything related to green. They're getting support from various organizations and funded by some companies that are all out to support their advocacy. Although it seems late for people who see these natural calamities like flash floods to solve it, they're doing what they can and have their initiatives to do to help nature and preserve what they can still preserve. On our own, we can do in our tiniest help to contribute to avoiding these floods which are caused by our wrongdoings like cutting down trees, blockage of water passage due to random throwing of garbages.

You can’t tame Mother Nature, man has been doing his best for centuries but it’s impossible. Architects & great minds can devise all the flood defence systems & similar things they want but you can’t stop Mother Nature. There are many organisations in the world that help flood victims after an event but it’s close to impossible to prevent large scale floods, the same with hurricanes.

Many agencies from various countries help in harnessing and addressing natural disasters around the world. Some are government-owned, while others are run by non-governmental organisations that help individuals devastated by natural disasters.  Natural disasters affect millions of people each year, causing loss of life and property as well as damage and illness to those who are affected. Every country's government is responsible for controlling and protecting its inhabitants from natural catastrophes by offering help, information on the causes, and advice on how to avoid them to the greatest extent possible. Although natural disasters cannot be prevented, they can be mitigated to some extent if appropriate measures are taken.

This natural disaster is something that has become a yearly nightmare all around the world...
It displaces people... properties... businesses...lost of lives.etc
I think there should be an organization all around the world to tackle this to an extent..
What's your take on this?
