Hello everyone, how are you feeling today?
It is another new week and a great time to share our thoughts together about this week's prompt, natural disaster.
It is a sad topic because it has claimed more lives than we can count but it is yet something we cannot do without because it is mainly caused by nature itself. Most of them are a reaction to the environment, often caused by how we treat the environment whether sparked by any form of pollution. Nevertheless, there are those that are just common to certain locations.
Yearly, there are places in the world that most have one particular natural disaster or another. It now seems like a common event, and they are usually expectant every year.
The effects of natural disasters has been overwhelming and efforts by government all over the world to reduce the effects has not been progressive but the fact remains that you cannot stop what you do not have a fore knowledge of. Most of these occurrences happen all of a sudden, some overnight.
Of all the natural disasters, I have seen flood and the effects flood can bring to a community. Just recently, a city in the state I reside was flooded from a dam close by. The flood happened at night and it swept houses and left most of its victims injured. Innocent souls finding sleep in their homes only to wake up in the midst of a chaos.
They were consoled and the government blocked the passage of the water from the dam from escalating anymore, but the damage has been done. The sudden impact and effect of natural disasters is what makes it even more dangerous, if they had known, preventive measures would have been taken.
Therefore, we cannot blame nature for this events, neither can we blame where we reside for some of this events. We can only move on and hope for the best in the future. Holding on the the event can bring trauma that can have a lasting impact in our lives. For those that have lost someone in any of these disasters, our best wishes are with you.
For those in trauma of the event or still have nightmares or have psychological effects, you can get professional help.
Thank you for your time...
