COUNTRIES BEST PREPARED TO ATTEND EMERGENCIES CAUSED BY NATURAL DISASTER

 

A disaster is the correlation between natural phenomena such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruption or caused by people such as deforestation and environmental pollution, and conditions of economic, social, cultural and vulnerable physical life phenomena: poor health, homes poorly constructed , type of unstable soils, poor location of housing, apathy and indifference of the people, lack of organization and community involvement.

So, there are great chances that a disaster is generated if there is a high risk of occurrence of one or more natural phenomena caused by ourselves or in a community, and community living conditions remain vulnerable.

The difference between tragedy for some and scare others is preparing to face the so-called "natural disasters"-in the case of earthquakes, hurricanes, floods or landslides.

Although there is nothing that can be done to prevent these natural phenomena, the fact is that there is no reason why the consequences have to be inevitably disastrous. 

Latin America has made ​​significant strides to better understand and manage natural disasters in recent decades.

Mexico and other countries in the region which include Chile, Colombia and Costa Rica, have improved their ability to predict some risks, prepare for and manage emergencies. With some regional exceptions, fewer people die from this type of event today than a decade ago only, largely due to improved management policies disasters, early warning systems and the organization of emergency response.

Nicaragua, with 6 million inhabitants, it is considered a high-risk country and record natural tragedies include earthquakes, tsunamis and landslides that have left tens of thousands dead and affected over the past decades. The authorities noted that Nicaragua is the only country with early warning systems 24 hours a day to each of its natural hazards.

According to a study by the World Economic Forum, Chile is the country number 10 among the best prepared for potential natural and economic risks of high impact.

The Japanese are a model that the rest of the world should continue to respond to natural disasters.

Natural disasters that may occur in Belgium generally correspond to flooding. Belgium is ready for it. Nothing about machines that drain water, but in general, there is strong support for victims and a high level of life. The architecture is typical for their drop ceilings and is required to prevent the accumulation of snow that could cause collapse under the weight, so that possibility is eliminated.

Hello everyone, this is what I learned in the class of intermediate English II

First we saw the "tag question". We use the tag question for extra information and for be sure about whatever situation.

For example: he is tall, isn't he?

We can use the tag question in many situations: present perfect, simple past, future, etc.

Also we saw the "Simple Past and Simple Present". Simple Past is used when we want to say an action that occurred in the past. For ex: she danced, and the Simple Perfect is used when we want to tell a completed action before something else in the past, for example: she danced before she saw her friend.

Another topic was "modals" Must (for an obligation), Able to (for express ability) may and might (for express possibility)

Saw too "shall" we use it to indicate future action. We use it for:

 Suggestion: shall we go to the beach?

 Promise: she never forget where she came from

 Predestination: he shall become my husband.

Inevitability: I'm afraid he shall become my couple of work.

Causatives

Have: for give someone responsibility to do something

Get: for convince someone to do something.

Make: for force someone to do something

Let: imply that someone allow doing something.
