What Can You Do?

Have you ever thought about what would happen if you were involved with a natural disaster? What would you do? How would you feel? Now think about a natural disaster in Southeast Asia. As we have discussed in previous posts in regards to Southeast Asia, there's numerous factors that effect this country. Whether that be the economy, ecotourism, fair trade or even the culture.

As we all know natural disasters can widely include flooding, earthquakes, tornadoes, typhoons, tsunami's, volcanoes, cyclones and more. All of these can be deadly. And none of which we can prevent. According to AsianScientist, just in 2012 alone, natural disasters such as these caused the United States roughly $15 billion in damage to the Asian countries. Most of this damage was caused by floods.

Some ways we can all get involved to aid in decreasing the damage outcomes and decreasing the chances of those losing their lives to these natural disasters include:

• Early warning systems for famines
• Technology to transpire news
• Use our natural resources
• Build our homes and businesses to withstand such disasters as much as possible
• Have sufficient food and water storage
• Give

With natural disasters, there's not adequate ways we can do to prevent such disasters because we're dealing with nature. With nature, we never know what it beholds. Millions have been affected by natural disasters not only in Southeast Asia but around the world. But what we can do is act now. Selfless companies such as the Red Cross is a great way to volunteer and give back to those that suffer from natural disasters. If you would like to volunteer or donate, click HERE.

Now I ask you the question, what are you going to do to change your lifestyle as much as you can to prevent natural disasters?
