What to do after a disaster
- Remove uprooted trees on roads, try to repair broken roads as soon as possible. So that support team can come easily and communication is possible quickly.
- Help people return home from shelters and give shelter to others in your home or village.
- Rescue people who are floating in canals, rivers, ponds and seas or trapped in forests or swamps with the fastest rescue team.
- Team up and start a rescue operation with the help of ropes and boats to rescue people stranded on islands or at sea. A rope or bamboo can be delivered to the person trapped in the river to help him in the rescue operation.
- Administer first aid to the injured. Arrange for the immediate transfer of the seriously injured to the nearest hospital. Burial of the dead should be done as soon as possible.
- Arrange for dead animals to be buried in the ground rather than floating in rivers or canals. 7. Boil pond or river water and drink it. Catch rainwater.
- Arrange for quick relief to affected areas. Distribute relief (on priority basis) in special arrangements for women, old, disabled and sick.
- Cyclone and flood victims should try to be self-reliant instead of waiting for NGO or government help and try to help others as much as possible.
- Try to stand on your own feet instead of waiting for relief. Work instead of relief. Create job opportunities. Relief should be distributed in such a way that it encourages people to work rather than discourage them.
- Prepare the land for fast productive paddy and vegetables, collect seeds and start farming to get the crops home as soon as possible.
