Which is the country that is best prepared to attend emergencies caused by natural disaster?







There are many countries that are prepared to attend emergencies caused by natural disasters for example: China, Chile, Japan, Canada and others, but the best prepared to attend emergencies caused by natural disaster is Nicaragua.
At least 500,000 Nicaraguans were trained this year to avoid disaster and act in emergency situations and over a million will benefit from the knowledge of its neighbors.
Nicaragua with 6 million in habitants, it is considered a high risk country and record natural tragedies include earthquakes, tsunamis, and landslides that have tens of thousands dead and affected over the past decades.
I research and I realized that Nicaraguans said:  “We are better prepared for a disaster because it´s not a great shield, but because people understand more about this need, more people are aware of the risks of disasters and what to do”
Nicaragua is a country as high risk of earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruption, hurricanes, heavy rains, floods and forest fires.
Is for that Nicaragua is the only country with early warning systems 24 hours a day to each of its natural hazards.
Nicaraguans never will be fully prepared for an earthquake but they can be exercised. Nicaragua increasingly speak less of locating centers hostel critical, now they talk about houses to relocate people at risk, you can survive a disaster.
Nicaragua fear repeat disaster like the earthquake in 1972 in Managua, which left over 10,000 dead. The 1992 tsunami at least 118 dead and 63 missing, or the sliding of the Casitas volcano in 1998 by hurricane Mitch which resulted in 762 deaths and 2,228 missing.
The first seismic network was set up after the last earthquake in Managua, the first early warning system was established after the tsunami and SINAPRED was founded after hurricane Mitch.
According to the Global Climate Risk, 160 people died on overage each year in Nicaragua since 1990 because of weather events, in the last year the figure was 36.

Is for all this information that I think that Nicaragua is the country that is best prepared to attend emergencies caused by natural disasters.
