The last hurricane that passed through were the gas stations equipped with backup generators, were the shelters properly surveyed for proper usage, were inventory made on food and medical supplies that could be made available for use after the disaster passed away. Were the hospital and other emergency establishments equipment with backup generators. We should always be prepared,the season will soon be here again. Just look around you and what do you see?

it’s for an illustration project on disaster.
It’s for an illustration assignment, and the instructor won’t give me a straight answer on it. I feel it is, and I can represent it as such, but I’m looking for opinions to include in my research of the topic
If you are starving as a result of a natural disaster, is looting permitted?
Mar 04, 2010 in
Disaster
A few days after the big quake in Chile, people are starting to loot. They have not eaten for days. Banks are closed and couldn’t operate even if they were open, so there is no money available to buy things. If people are starving, is it permitted to just take the things you need to survive? Does the law allow that, or are you just supposed to go off and die? Is there any provision in the law for allowing people to do what they must to survive a disaster, or are we required to meekly starve to death?
Do you think a major natural disaster can hit Florida?
Mar 02, 2010 in
Disaster
I have some concerns about moving to Florida, because of all of the natural disasters that’s been going on lately..
Do you think Florida can be hit by a tsunami or a earthquake or any other major natural disasters?
I am aware of the hurricanes, but usually they give you a head-sup on those. I am talking about disaster that people can’t "predict" hitting a certain area 100% and that will just hit without no time of warning that could help people escape?!
Reposting dream from 3 years ago?

Tsunami
Ok I posted this 3 yrs ago. The Super Bowl is again in Miami and I havent had any dream like this since. Could it have been this up coming SuperBowl???Here is the question from 3 yrs ago.
Are these just dreams?I live in Tampa area. About 7 years ago i had a strange dream. I was in my parents back yard and looked towards the southeast and saw a mushroom cloud. I knew in my dream it was Miami. Was scary dream and even though miami is about 7 hours drive , there was rocks falling on my head. Move forward. About 5-6 months before Tsunami’s i had dreams of giant wave coming towards gulf coast of florida. Never thought about dream until Tsumani happend. Move forward. About 6 weeks before Katrina had another dream of a big wave but seemed to be caused by storm. Now i remembered 1st dream about three weeks ago when i had another one where i was high above a stadium looking down at it. 3 objects went down into the stadium and saw a big blast. In my dream i knew that the stadium was in Miami. The next thing is i was standing on ledge of a building and that building and all of the other buildings started falling but not like the WTC but like cig ashes. Is this just a dream

What if there was a SUPER cargo ship that constantly roamed the oceans of the world that carried enormous amounts of supplies on it, i.e. food, water, clothes etc. Then when a disaster such as the earthquake in Haiti happens this ship could immediately head over an provide aid. It can just pull ashore seeing as how aircraft aid won help. Furthermore, this ship can sell its supliies to different countries and get replenished on a regular basis so that the supplies to get out-dated if a major event hasn’t happened in a while.
I’m visualizing something of a major carrier ship similar to something the Navy would have that would have a heliport and landing strip on top. I am sure we have some ships out there that do this now, but I a thinking of ONE go-to ship that will be THE official rescue ship. I’m talking enough suppiles to feed a major city. Does this make any sense?
seems that she can get herself and her camera crew to any area where there is a disaster 2-5 days befor the people carrying water can get there……
kinda makes you wonder if they sent in 3ooo news reporters and told them to carry in water instead of their cameras, if there would be a better chance of surrival over there…..
Why do people come on this site and claim there is no U.S. military presence in Haiti yet?

News reports clearly show U.S. military planes being unloaded by our military.
January 13, 2010
"With the first of its flights touching down in earthquake-devastated Haiti late Wednesday afternoon, the U.S. began deploying military planes, ships and ground troops to the Caribbean nation."
One of two planes carrying a 30-person assessment team arrived at Port-au-Prince airport about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. The team will assess what Haiti needs to cope with the immediate aftermath of the disaster.

British media on Haiti?
Jan 31, 2010 in
Earthquake Questions
I see a lot of very graphic pictures which does nothing else except harm to those who have connections in Haiti of have victimised famalies back in Haiti. Why are newspapers in UK publishing pictures of naked people who have been affected by the Haiti earthquake, I don’t think this constitutes any respect or expression of sympathy to the Haiti people. Imagine seeing a picture of someone you know being shown like that on newspapers. There is newspaper named the metro in the manchester area who are making fun of th Haiti disaster each and every day. It is high that that media groups start to respect other countries irrespective f their location, political or economic stance

I’m researching on natural disasters for my thesis and would like to know what people experience and what they are feeling. It would be best to get first hand experiences, but if you know of someone who has been in a disaster, i am still interested in that too.
Also, is there a forum or website that has people discussing their first hand experiences with natural disasters?
Thanks
If an major earthquake hits California?
Dec 31, 2009 in
Earthquake Questions
If an major earthquake such as a 7.0 or higher, And if it hits L.A. or San Fransisco, how many people would die in this disaster?
I’m all the way in NY…and I hate watching the news on television. It seems to be making headlines, and 300,000 people evacuated in SoCal is a huge number. A federal emergency is pretty big. The thing with wildfires though is that it’s mostly just evacuations and structural damage, not lives lost. So how would you rank this disaster along with past disasters such as Katrina, the Minnesota bridge collapse, and the California earthquakes of the late ’80’s/early ’90’s? And what about compared to the Florida wildfires that occurred recently when they had to close Disney World?
One thing I wonder is why they build communities in natural wildfire areas…if they can’t control them, they shouldn’t be doing that.
How would you guys compare them to the recent Florida wildfires? My only thoughts on it is that those wildfires went through pretty rural areas of farmland in south Georgia/North Florida, while the SoCal wildfires are ripping through urban and suburban areas, affecting many more people and structures.
Are these occurring right in San Diego? I’ve been to the Encinitas/La Jolla area a few times, it’s beautiful there, are the fires reaching any of those areas? I remember that where we would stay, we would hop on a highway and go right to Sea World in about 10-15 minutes.
Does anyone know if you pay income taxes on money received during a natural disaster from FEMA and GA.?

This happened when a tornado hit our town, my neighborhood. amd my home last March. I haven’t received anything from FEMA or the State of GA (DFACS) when given money to help replace our food, etc. which I lost in the disaster. If so, what forms do I file. That is all I received from them. Anyone know.
The disaster has to be powerful.

Are humans smarter then animals?
Oct 27, 2009 in
Earthquake Questions
According to a report on CNN scientists had discovered why human beings are more intelligent than animals. However, being that scientists know everything (according to all nonbelievers) then why is it when a disaster occurs such as a giant tsunami as in Southeast Asia which killed multitudes, authorities could hardly find any animals that died in the flooding. They surmised that the animals had some sort of intelligence that caused them to move to higher ground when the tsunami-causing earthquake struck.
It was human beings who stayed on the beach to take pictures of the wave as it approached.
Science doesn’t have all the answers and will always only be able to prove what God allows them.
clearly, scientists were wrong again, so why do so many still believe?
clearly I am ass for assuming that you all didnt need word for word clarification of the underlying gist of my question. For all the rocket scientists out there my question was more directed to why do so many believe in scientists when the scientists are not always right not to mention that science changes like the wind; and if you don’t use science to back your not believing in God that what do you use? so many have used science to back up that they don’t believe that God exists on this forum.

Hi I am thinking of getting a degree (hopefully there is one) to become a professional (ERDW) but I am not sure about the job market in the USA since we really cannot predict when a disaster will strike.
I appreciate your responses.
Maybe a really bad hurricane or tornado? What were your thoughts while this was occurring? How did this effect you after the disaster?

What do our pastors and faith gurus have to say about USA and all the natural disaster this time around?
Sep 24, 2009 in

Bad tornadoes, Hurricanes, Katrina, bad Floods, bad fires.
Has it ever been this worse?
Some crazy pastors use to say that people were given disaster by God?
Others were praying disaster struck the DNC convention?
Does any reasonable person really believe in all these crazy charlatans who brand themselves pastors?
This is for accounting homework..
The farm has barns and sheds worth ,100
A tornado struck and completely destroyed one of the barns, worth ,00. It was not insured against this type of disaster.
Explain what changes will be required in your balance sheet to reflect the loss of this barn.
Where and when did this event happen? what caused this disaster? how much monetary loss did this event cause?
