you work for an NGO how would you increase the awareness among the people living in the slums on disaster management refer to the payment
Dear student,
Such questions are meant to test your writing skills and should be attempted on your own. However, these points might help you elaborate:
The part 'refer to the payment' in your query is unclear, the rest of the query has been addressed in the given answer.
- The first step to long-term disaster management is making the people in the slums aware of the real danger of natural disasters.
- I would hold talks, discussions and meetings with the residents of the slums to make them aware that a natural disaster like an earthquake, a flood or a drought could severely affect their lives.
- In this, I would enlist the help of the slum children (the few that attend some kind of schools) to help me spread the message.
- Putting up posters in the area is another effective way of communication.
- Then, I would train them in simple steps to be taken during any such disaster: do not panic, move to an open area in case of an earthquake, inform police, fire brigade and ambulance services in case of breakout of a fire in the slums, etc.
- Sharing the telephone numbers and contact details of their local municipal offices, police authorities, hospitals, ambulance services would also make them feel safer. I would try to get these printed and stuck on walls throughout the slum area.
- Helping them build small first aid kits will also empower them to deal with such situations.
- Showing them some movies on how to handle situations in disasters will have a lasting impression.
Regards
