I think I would consider focusing on preparedness and other pre-disaster

programs as a better policy because it is better to be prepared ahead of time
than having a lot of damage to properties because of not preparing. Being
prepared on any circumstance would help you and a lot of people to survive
and it also reduce our fear and impact of disasters. If we put our attention on
recovery it is more likely we accept the fact that we can’t do anything for the
present lives but only for survivors.

2. Vulnerability is our most accurate measurement of courage and not our

weakness. When the barrier is our belief about vulnerability, the question
becomes: 'Are we willing to show up and be seen when we can't control the
outcome?' When the barrier to vulnerability is about safety, the question
becomes: 'Are we willing to create courageous spaces so we can be fully
seen?”

3. Natural disasters frequently occur across the world, affecting both developed
and developing countries. According to my research, less develop countries
are more vulnerable to natural disasters including flood. They are more
vulnerable to natural disasters because people live in areas at high risk from
natural disasters (e.g., unsafe urban areas), the housing is poorly built and
can be easily damaged in the event of a disaster, countries are not equipped
with early warning systems, and they have few assets. The vast majority of
lives lost or affected by natural disasters are in developing countries. Poor
governance, external sanctions, poverty, and foreign debt force farmers to
burn wood for fuel and to engage in unsustainable farming techniques that
drive deforestation and consequently slope processes.
