When assisting in a disaster, first and foremost understand its nature and extent. Example, if an earthquake has occurred then what was its intensity, how many villages have been affected in a flood etc.
In coming times, there will be a surge in extreme natural disasters like Tsunami, earthquakes etc., to such an extent that even scientists are saying that we may have to leave our earth !
Sometimes, lightning flashes in the sky during other seasons as well. If there is a gap of less than 30 seconds between the lightning and its sound, then such lightning is dangerous. Lightning can lead to great loss of life and property.
It is not possible to predict when we will have to deal with natural disasters such as hurricanes, heavy rains, earthquakes. Such disasters can arise any moment.
Homes of thousands of people are submerged under flood waters and their routine life has been affected severely.
