Today is to draw attention to disasters,

that mankind has to face each year,

from hurricanes, cyclones and flooding,

to earthquakes and drought, all things we fear.

Weather alerts can warn of impending danger,

social media is good for sharing up to date information,

we have to do all we can to reduce the risks,

learn from disasters with international cooperation.

More public awareness is needed to try and reduce the loss of life from natural disasters, especially for those in areas that do not have the usual information from media. Communities need to be made aware of the best procedures to follow in case of a natural disaster. the media is the best way to warn people if they may be at risk. Pre planned and post planned emergency measures can help to reduce the loss of life.
