How could we prevent loss of lives during calamities?
We could prevent loss of lives during calamities by having a mitigation plan that will
serve as our guide and indications during these calamities, such as; having thorough awareness,
gaining extensive apprehension about the situation, being alert and prepared, being predictive, and
keeping up with the warning system. As humans, there’s nothing we can do to stop and prevent the
occurrence of natural disasters. In midst of these unfortunate occasions, we are in the mercy of
nature, even with these plans, we cannot escape from it. These situations aren’t something that we
can control with our bare hands. Thus, we have no other choice but to go through it and experience
it. But that shouldn’t hinder us from planning the mitigation strategy. These calamities are just like an
opponent in a game. We have to strategize and think of the moves and actions that we should make
in order to defeat and overcome it. In that way we might prevent, and conclude losing lives.
