Natural Disasters

Natural disasters occur around the world and they can become completely devastating to people and the environment they live in. Natural disasters are caused by natural disasters and we can not prevent them. There are various events that may cause natural disasters. China is one of the unfortunate countries with natural disasters. China is the world's most populous country with a population of more than 35 billion.

This is not a natural disaster. There is nothing like a natural disaster. Disasters are the result of socioeconomic factors and "slow violence", regardless of whether it is a crowded urban community or a distant rural community, people who are left behind by poor are long-term It will be affected. Historian Roland Dubois said that Haitian Hurricane Matthew is called "aftershock of history" like the 2010 earthquake. And intensified.

First of all, "nature" is "natural disaster". In many cases, natural disasters (such as floods) and artificial disasters (such as oil spills and chemical accidents) are distinguished. However, the impact of natural disasters often becomes even more serious due to human participation. Two examples using my own country: In the 1930s, a terrible dust storm in Central America destroyed the inhabitants' lives. Every year there is little rainfall, the topsoil of the major regions of the country are blown away and become a desert. Insufficient rainfall is a natural phenomenon, but a strong long settlement changed the huge grassland to a wheat field, and farmers were exposed to the wind cultivating the land directly causing disasters. If farmers do not settle in the area, natural disasters will not happen unless cultivation is done.

Most of what we call natural disasters (tornadoes, droughts, hurricanes) is actually natural, but human contribution may increase its potential and strength. But they are not disasters - it is dangerous. Even if a hurricane hits a land where no one lives, it is not a disaster but the weather. A disaster is a natural disaster that matches the population. Usually this intersection is far from natural. If Houston's community is found to be most vulnerable to hurricane Harvey, most damage is not only predictable but also predicted. In 2016, ProPublica announced a detailed article explaining that lack of plans could make urban residents very vulnerable to hurricanes. The city permitted the entire block to emerge in areas where the Army Corps of Engineers knew that it would flood during the heavy rain. The 1996 report urged Harris County with Houston to take measures to mitigate the risk. It will be ignored. Harvey is a strong weather phenomenon.
