Floods, earthquakes, losses, and anxieties… As humanity, we have a mission to master nature; we cannot merely endure and prevent; we must also be able to influence it. We have made positive impacts, but we have also caused negative ones. Natural disasters follow certain laws, but some events are triggered by human actions.
We invite you to join the online roundtable “Humans and Natural Disasters” today at 2 PM (November 14).
At 0:15:55 AM on November 8, an earthquake measuring 4.8 on the Richter scale struck the Southeastern region, followed by another tremor at 2:54 PM that same day. You and many others were terrified, not knowing what to do except to… flee in panic, followed by a wave of worry…
Typhoon No. 7 and then No. 8 were tracked meticulously in every direction, with updates every minute, yet the aftermath remained severe, and subsequent flash floods came unexpectedly, claiming lives even in their sleep…
Is this all simply due to the wrath of nature? How should we react to natural disasters? What can we do to mitigate the calamities caused by nature?
