Earthquake - the natural disaster
Introduction
Earthquake is a natural disaster and it happens when a sudden movement of the earth’s crust is done and when it happens the earth shakes up and causes a great loss of life and as well as property. And the energy of earthquake is measured in Richter scale.
Earthquake cruelty
If we talk about how much the earthquake can damage the land and human being we can take it from the example of Nepal earthquake which was recently occurred on April 25, the earthquake was very cruel over there it destroyed everything which came near it. Thousands and thousands people were killed many children have been orphaned and many of them were left homeless. The pain and agony of theirs we cannot even imagine also it was totally brutal, no mercy is shown by the earthquake. Some news came in Nepal that out of 75 districts 25 to 30 districts have been affected with the earthquake and it is not less it’s really a huge number. And it was measured 7.9 on the Richter scale it was the biggest measurement I have seen in my life, it was heart chilling for me.
After hearing and seeing the destruction in Nepal caused by the earthquake the Indians were very much eager to help the needy of Nepal and the rescue operation was started. Full India supported Nepal irrespective of their caste, colour, and gender. It was an accident from the nature which harms the innocent Nepal.
And after few months the earthquake was not leaving India it came repeatedly to India but of god grace it had not harmed so much in comparison of incident which happened on Nepal. In Nepal it was really a huge destruction by nature and we all pray that it should not be happened again. And if it happens again then I have to say that there is no power excluding god who can stop this.
If we talk about human body which were destroyed full by the earthquake in Nepal then we cannot even imagine of so much bodies which were spread like a mosquito with no life left in it. There were so much lifeless body which were not getting place to be buried or burned; it was so huge in numbers. It was so huge that nobody can imagine it in his/her dream. And the people who were left alive they were also in a big dilemma, they were so socked that they cannot even remembered their names. They were not getting hungry or thirsty they were just shocked.
The earthquake is a natural disaster and it is a natural process and we cannot stop it by anything. But we can control the amount of loss of life and property by reducing global warming which is the main cause of earthquake to be happened. Before building the house we should be very careful about the strength of the house so that it can stand strongly in earthquake also and we can also control the loss life by some safety precaution during the earthquake. And hence in this way we can control the loss of life and property.
During the earthquake
Earthquake is one of the natural disaster which gives no alarm or we can say no warning at all from the earthquake to be happened when and where just a loud noise of shaking of buildings can be heard which is a signal of earthquake but a normal person will think that something is happening outside but he/she cannot distinguish what is happening until he/she faces or sees other building which gives a hint a strong hint that the earthquake is happening because in earthquake the building got shaken up by the strong moving of the earth crust. But sometimes it occurs so fast that before any human get the chance to react it happens it is so fast. It doesn’t give any chance to anybody to move to the safer place where the human being can get shelter during the earthquake. During the earthquake many of us get a huge problem of panicking, it is the main cause why many people dies, I know that we cannot so much of time to think what to do or what not to do but we can prepare ourselves before the earthquake to be happened. Using the brain which god has given us is the useful and worth thing which we all should do during the earthquake. Be calm and use the brain which meant to use in the difficult situation it’s hard but we can try if it’s saving our life.
After the earthquake
Yes this is also important for all of us to know what to do after the earthquake happened and ruined everything from the personal things to personal relationship. We all know that after a strong earthquake nothing is left for anybody, there is no one who can think clearly after the earthquake is happened. The people become so desperate that he/she cannot think of living in this world for a second also. One of the most important things that we forget when we faces the earthquake at home when we are bare footed, so we all should remember that whenever the earthquake is done, we all should wear shoes because it will help the human legs to be safe by the heavy things which are fallen during the earthquake. Check the house very clearly because it will seems to be strong but nobody knows what the internal structure of the house is at present it might look strong after the earthquake but after a week or even after a month the building structure can lose its strength and can fall on anyone it might be you or it might be your family members and it is so dangerous that it can harm very badly or even result in death of someone or the death full family. Show the goodness, the etiquettes that you got from your parents by simply helping the trapped persons or the injured, if needed take him/her to the hospital or give him/her some first aid treatment on the spot. We all know that it’s difficult to think after hearing the death of someone to whom we are so much close, but try because everyone’s life is precious so don’t waste it like that. Who knows that your life can becomes vital for someone’s life, it is the disaster and it can happen anytime and anywhere because we all are human and natural things are not on our control its god only who can control it I think. I am a huge devotee of god and I think that everything is happened for a good cause but in this matter I am not getting my answer, my question is that when everything is happened for a good cause then what taking of life in a huge amount is what good for the human and if it’s then it is good for whom, who enjoys it, who gets the advantage of these. I know that badness is spreading very faster but it is not the right way to eradicate it.
Conclusion
There is no time when the earthquake will occur, there is no warning at all by the earthquake but sometimes the scientist can measure some calculation where and when the earthquake will happen. If you are alone then prepare yourself and if you have family then you should prepare your family and yourself before the earthquake is too happened. You should be having a safety plan for you and for your family, you cannot wait for the earthquake to be happened and then you will prepare yourself and your family, you should prepare yourself and your family now. If your family knows how to switch off electricity and gas and any other electronic items which are there in your house should be off during the earthquake because the earthquake will harmed you later first these things will attack you. Search for the safety place in your house were you can be safe during the earthquake.
During the earthquake one should never stand because if he/she is standing in the situation when everything is shaking even his/her own body then it the most stupid that anyone can do so it’s better to kneel down or sit or sit down holding anything which is giving the body to be balanced. One of the most dangerous thing that many of us do and they got killed and that is standing near the heavy things like door of the house sitting beneath the fan or the tree which is also get shaken up heavily during the earthquake. So its better that we should try not to go were the heavy material is there which can harm when it falls on us. Using the lift during the earthquake can also result in death. So never use the lift. Now-a-days we all know that whenever the earthquake is happening we should run outside the building and just because of this mind set many is getting saved from the cruelty of earthquake it’s the good knowledge about the earthquake and we all should obey this. But never rush so heavily and forcefully that other person who is also moving outside with you is getting pushed by the crowd so see yourself and other also at the same time. And one more thing never try to re-enter in the building which badly damaged or which partially damaged because who knows that the building is strong or it losing its strength, so it can also be dangerous for you. First check and then go after completing full investigating, be sure yourself fully and then re-enter. Because the building is the main cause of death because of its heavily material inside like brick jointed cement electric wires which are too dangerous. So stay out of the damaged buildings
