Disaster Reflection
1. How does the devastation brought from Typhoon Haiyan make you feel?
In a time where many of my countrymen have been so quickly displaced from their homes, and left starving in the shivering cold, I feel a sense of urgency to help. I am very privileged, not in that i am unaffected by the typhoon, but privileged in that i am in a position where i can help people whose lives have drastically changed. I intend to join relief operations in and out of school.
2. How should people prepare for and respond to disasters like Typhoon Haiyan?
I believe that people close to coastal areas should be prioritised in evacuation efforts, and moved to areas more land-locked to make themselves less-likely to be involved in flood related risk.
3. Why do people live in vulnerable areas?
- Disparities (low income makes them unable to move to areas away from risk)
- industry (fishing, living close to coastal areas)
This is so cute.
ReplyDeleteWhat relief operations have you joined outside of school? I am interested in joining! :)
ReplyDeleteOkay Gab, I see what you're going for here. But just a couple of things:
ReplyDelete1. What happens when you move everyone inland, and the infrastructure shuts down? No telecom, roads, sewage, etc.
2. Where are you going to put everyone? In the hills? Cave?
Ps. Can you make your blogger English please?
