A Disaster Relief Ministry Is A Great Rescue Point

By Helene Norris


A catastrophe is a serious menace that can occur to both economical and social status of any country or state in any part of the world. A disaster relief ministry, a body that deals with preventing and managing natural and human initiated dangers, assumes the responsibility of helping human beings out of such dangers. This body plays a very great role in ensuring that human lives are protected and rescued in times of calamities.

There are various calamities that this organization is trained to deal with. First, there are natural calamities, which are often caused by forces of nature. Some of these natural disasters include floods, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and earthquake. Although this body may not prevent the occurrence of these disasters, it can manage to rescue lives that would otherwise perish in the midst of such disasters.

The body also assumes the responsibility of managing environmental carnage. Such calamities often occur as result of industrial or technological damage or misconduct by human beings. It is important to note that the hot spots of these calamities is always in areas where materials are manufactured, transported produced. Example of these calamities may include extreme forest fires caused by careless activities by human beings.

Sudden onset of pandemic emergencies, which include eruption of a contagious disease within a particular region is also among the calamities which the ministry can handle. The eruptions of such diseases often cause severe effect to the unfortunate. It is therefore advisable that the body should be alerted as soon as any shred of these contagious diseases is spotted in order to mitigate the effect.

Mitigating measures help a great deal in handling natural catastrophes and handling human initiated disasters. These measures should be implemented at an individual level in order to prevent any careless damage that may affect human lives or properties. Mitigation may not fully solve the disasters but it only alleviates the effect of damage thus reducing the risk of affected individuals.

The ministry also help with recovery after managing a disaster. This is a very important step because it helps place people back in the initial state they enjoyed before the occurance of a particular danger. A recovery program may involve reconstruction and purchase of new property to the people who suffered a particular damage.

The entire process of managing destruction requires efficient operation and effective disaster management skills. Effective skills in disaster management helps a great deal in making sure that great results is achieved. The good thing is that the employee in such a ministry is always trained and equipped with effective skills before they commence work.

The Disaster relief ministry has a huge task towards ensuring and assuring the people of their safety irrespective of their living standards. This task of disaster prevention and management is, however, a process that requires collaborative measures with the people that are affected. All disasters are imminent and unpredictable hence no one can stop them when they occur and it is therefore ideal to set good measures and standards in order to alleviate them.
