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.
