Tackling natural calamities

Our world is today frequently visited by floods, storms, cyclones and earthquakes, which raises the question: how safe are we? Are our buildings really able to withstand natural calamities? Can our MET offices give proper, accurate weather forecasts before any disaster?

We need to find out scientific and technical ways of dealing with natural disasters, especially in regions those are most vulnerable. Also, we should construct buildings that can withstand natural calamities. Finally, rescue and humanitarian efforts should be ready in time to save the lives of victims of any natural disaster.
