NATURAL

DISASTERS
01
OVERVIEW
Introduction
What is it?
Natural disasters include all types of
severe weather, which have the
potential to pose a significant threat to
human health and safety, property,
critical infrastructure, and homeland
security. Natural disasters occur both
seasonally and without warning,
subjecting the nation to frequent
periods of insecurity, disruption, and
economic loss.

action.
Reflection and importance:
● “The environment does not adapt to the reality
of humanity; it is, on the contrary, the human
being who needs to adapt to the environment.
He has to occupy the environment that is viable,
thinking about the environmental impact and the
safety of the population”

Environmental expert Charles Dayler says that one of


the main reasons that certain regions are more
susceptible to natural disasters is disorderly urban
occupation. “Areas are occupied that shouldn't be,
either for housing or infrastructure, because there
was no technical study, preparation or planning”, he
explains.
Preventive measures:

Charles highlights the main thing: prevention. Cases of flooding and


landslides can be avoided with preventive measures such as:
1. Do not build in places prohibited by the City Hall, such as rugged hills and
slopes
2. Do not build your house without technical support
3. Do not deforest hills and slopes for the settlement of houses and other
constructions
4. Not removing the natural vegetation that protects the slope
5. Call City Hall if you are aware of clogged or uncovered manholes

Shelter and man-made
disasters
What is Shelter?
Shelters are protection to the peoples who lives
on the dangerous locals like a bunker.

— Shelters example:

Cases of peoples need’s a
shelter:
For example you’re in your house and a
big rain comes to your street and you
go to your bunker and in your bunker
have the supplies to the long of the
rain you can stay there without
preoccupations.

Other example earthquake, one


earthquake can be destruct basement
for this you need contract a good
company to build this
Man-made disasters
When we carry out an activity with a direct
connection to the environment, we are
aware that it can have a negative impact,
which is why accident prevention measures
are necessary. The problem occurs when
these measures fail.
Throughout our history, several serious
accidents have marked the environment in a
negative way. Several of these accidents
caused the death of several people and other
living beings, in addition to affecting the air,
aquatic environments and soil.
