Philippines suffers from various disasters every year. And we should note that every single disasters have a massive impact on the Philippine, be it in the economical, industrial and other aspects that affects the lives and the quality of the lives of our fellow countrymen.
One of the major reason why Philippines is still poor despite that we have a huge quantity of natural resources is disasters, whether it is human-induced disasters or natural disasters. Because every time a disaster strikes, the government will spend a large amount of money to help the people who suffered from the said disaster. And this happens every year. Specially since we are being visited by typhoons every year.
And so, we must prepare to face the expected and some unexpected disasters that will strikes. We must have survival kit and first aid kit. We must also know where is the evacuation center in our locality located. Other one, and most importantly, we must always be calm when facing a disaster. We should fix the problems in our house, for example, if the ceiling of our house have a hole, we must definitely fix it immediately before the rain comes.
By preparing, we can decrease the casualties and damages caused by a disaster. We can keep ourselves and our family members safely. And by preparing, we are also helping the government. Because we are safe and the damage caused by the disaster to us is not that great, the government only need to spend a small amount of money for us. And this will help the Philippines to escape or overcome poverty. Since we cannot afford to spend a lot of money because we already have a lot of debts from the other countries.
