Book excerpt: What is the fate of the world as we know it? Tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, pandemics, cosmic radiation, gamma bursts from space, colliding comets, and asteroids—these things used to worry us from time to time, but now they have become the background noise of our culture. Are natural calamities indeed more probable, and more frequent, than they were? Are things getting worse? Are the boundaries between natural and human-caused calamities blurring? Are we part of the problem? If so, what can we do about it? In The End, award-winning writer Marq de Villiers examines these questions at a time when there is an urgent need to understand the perils that confront us, to act in such a way as best we can for the inevitable disasters when they come. We can do nothing about some natural calamities, but about others we can do a great deal. De Villiers helps us understand which is which, and lays out some provocative ideas for mitigating the damage all such calamities can inflict on us and our world. The End is a brilliant and challenging look at what lies ahead, and at what we can do to influence our future.

Download or read book There is No Such Thing as a Natural Disaster written by Gregory Squires and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is No Such Thing as a Natural Disaster is the first comprehensive critical book on the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans. The disaster will go down on record as one of the worst in American history, not least because of the government’s inept and cavalier response. But it is also a huge story for other reasons; the impact of the hurricane was uneven, and race and class were deeply implicated in the unevenness. Hartman and. Squires assemble two dozen critical scholars and activists who present a multifaceted portrait of the social implications of the disaster. The book covers the response to the disaster and the roles that race and class played, its impact on housing and redevelopment, the historical context of urban disasters in America and the future of economic development in the region. It offers strategic guidance for key actors - government agencies, financial institutions, neighbourhood organizations - in efforts to rebuild shattered communities.

Download or read book Disaster Management How to Survive in a Famine Other Man Made Natural Catastrophes written by Dueep Jyot Singh and published by Mendon Cottage Books. This book was released on 2017-03-04 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Table of Contents Introduction Survival of the Fittest The Right to Bear Arms… First Priority – Water Water Filtration Methods Storing or Hoarding Food Your Neighborhood Security Watch Group Leadership for Survival – Possible Factors for Potential Catastrophe Survival Outside – Trapping, Hunting, and Fishing Extra Emergency Items in Your Kit Making a crochet hook – Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Canning and preserving your own food means that you are going to have an adequate stock of food, in case of famine. Also, nobody can accuse you of hoarding food, in an emergency, which according to them should be distributed to everybody else who did not do any canning or preserving! This book is not for the faint hearted. It is not like other books on survival, with just a number of tips and techniques, because it has real life situations and episodes, based on experience and circumstances. These include war, riots, genocides, and other man-made catastrophes, which the author has experienced, during her lifetime or which has been recounted to her by her family members during their lifetimes. Unfortunately, all over the world, there is absolutely no generation which can say that it has not faced war, catastrophes, or other natural and man-made disasters. That is why even though this book may have a number of episodes, which may look really horrible, especially to people who have never faced any drastic catastrophe, but one has to face reality and be ready for the worst. You may also say, that these things happen in your continent or country, it cannot happen in my country, because we are civilized, have a strong law and order system, and so on. But remember that during catastrophes, nothing is normal, and that is when human beings and their true natures come to the forefront, and a survival of the fittest, and a fight to live, and the need to preserve and protect. This is the first natural instinct of human beings, and it cannot disappear through a thin polish of civilization. One sunny evening I asked a number of my friends during a casual weekend get-together, in America, whether they knew anything about surviving in famine conditions or any other disaster conditions. Their immediate response was that this was not possible in America, due to its state-of-the-art disaster management technology, and latest knowledge on how to deal with disasters in any form. Also, according to them, thanks to the large amounts of food being produced, by their farmers, there was absolutely no chance of famines or droughts, and the only disaster against which they could survive was natural catastrophes. This was 20 years ago, and I could say, that at that time, the outlook was rather positive, for mankind to survive for another couple of millenniums. Unfortunately, with the coming of more natural disasters every year and even man-made catastrophes like war, the chances of one suffering from a famine is getting to be larger, every year. I am not a pessimistic soothsayer. I am just being practical. Look around you. Remember the social, political, economical, and financial condition of the world around you, of say 25 years ago, and compare it with the same factors today. You are going to be surprised at the number of catastrophic disasters, wars, political upheavals, and other factors which are detrimental to the human condition, and its steady rise, every year. So there is absolutely no basis for you putting your head under your safety blanket, and curling up in a corner and singing, no, no, this cannot happen to us, because we are invulnerable, invincible, survivors, and the government is going to protect us.
