Disaster Symptoms Effects Remedy
Motor accident There is traffic jam. Somebody is injured. The car also gets damaged. If accident is on longer scale many people are injured. Some may die too. First disperse the crowd. The injured person should be given first aid and then rushed to hospital for immediate medical help.
Landsliding The gravity and severity of the landslide depend on location of this landslide. If there are houses located near the landslide or on cliffs, there would be a major disaster. The houses and people therein are most likely to get buried. The traffic will also halt if the landslide is near the major roads. The authority should be informed. Injured and trapped people should be removed from the rubble and given medical help as soon as possible.
Forest fire There is smoke spread out in the atmosphere. If it takes place in natural forests, the birds and the animals run helter skelter to save their lives. The huge flames can be seen. Everything turns into ashes. The fire fighting units should be called to extinguish the fires if they are spreading in nearby areas. If anyone is injured, he/she should be given medical help.
Theft The latch or the lock is broken. The valuables from the home or shop are missing. Everything in the house is strewn here and there. There are financial losses and also mental and emotional shock is severe. Police should be called to nab the criminals.
Riot The cities, towns and villages show sign of tense atmosphere. People gather in groups and discuss something secretively. There is financial loss for all the rioting groups. The belongings houses, shops, etc., are destroyed or damaged. Property is looted. Ladies and children suffer the most as they are easily victimized. As children, we cannot stop the riots. But we can take help of police force. We can establish mohalla committees for peaceful behaviour with each other. For that the wise members from each community will be summoned.
