Introduction:

In addition to creation and status on earth, doom also exists in the same way. When the burden of civilization on the earth is pressed like a place, maybe then the stump of disaster falls on the head of the world. And such a catastrophe can turn a civilization in its destructive glory into a complete catastrophe.

Disasters in this world can be roughly divided into two parts. One is a man-made disaster, and the other is a natural disaster. Man can realize how helpless man is when he is confronted with all these natural disasters.

No matter how intense the boasting of civilization, it is insignificant to the eternal power of nature. This report presents all these catastrophes that have befallen nature on civilization and the search for possible remedies to avoid these catastrophes.

Definition of natural disasters:

It is imperative to define natural disasters before discussing them in detail. Otherwise it will not be easy to understand the characteristic features of natural disasters. Natural disasters are a catastrophic process that operates out of human grasp, according to nature's own whims, causing massive loss of earthly resources and loss of life to humans and other animals.

Such a catastrophe refers to the wrath of nature which, after being submerged in a catastrophic flood, temporarily or for a long time halted the normal life of human civilization and the living world. However, according to the internationally accepted definition, no natural constructive process can be identified as a catastrophe unless there is loss of property or loss of life.

Types of natural disasters:

It is very difficult to understand the nature. So it is a little difficult to determine the type of Rudrarosh of this whim. According to the ancient Vedic concept, this world is made up of a total of five basic elements or panchabhutas. These elements are kshiti or land, op or water, tej meaning fire, marut or air and byom meaning sky.

These structural elements of the earth are inextricably linked with each other and these structural elements are the main source of all disasters. Therefore, based on these sources, several types of natural disasters can be identified. Those types are discussed below.

Disaster storms:

Catastrophic storms are one of the major natural disasters in the world. The main source of this storm is the wind, one of the basic elements of creation. According to nature's own perception, when the wind blows in a certain direction or at random speed, we know it as a storm. These storms can be of different types in the form of natural disasters.

According to spatial features, scientists call such storms as tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones. People in coastal areas like ours are well aware of storm surges. More than one cyclone is seen here every year.

This type of storm is known as cyclone in the coastal areas of the Bay of Bengal. Numerous storms around the world each year cause extensive damage and loss of life. The Amphan Super Cyclone is particularly significant in a recent storm.

Cold flood:

Floods are one of the major types of natural disasters. The cause of the flood may be different. Extreme levels of rainfall over the river can cause flooding and flooding of coastal areas. Excessive discharge of water from the dam can also cause floods.

Besides, indiscriminate exploitation of people on natural river channels has emerged as the most modern cause of floods. The floods completely disrupted public life for several days. All communication systems are completely broken. Besides, people are homeless, farmers are homeless; As a result, there was a massive loss of property, and countless people fell to their deaths in the aftermath of the catastrophic floods.

Catastrophic drought:

In this world, contradictory entities like black and white, good and evil etc. are present in parallel. Similarly, the current list of natural disasters in the world includes floods on the one hand and droughts on the other. When a part of the earth is flooded on one side, and on the other side of the earth it is scorched by the scorching sun.

Drought is a curse for countless people in this world. Drought is a catastrophe caused by prolonged drought. Farmers can feel the effects of this catastrophe in the world. At this time the soil of the earth becomes fragmented, the crop dries up, and all the animals, including plants, are thirsty for a little water. This form of drought, caused by ‘Tej’, another fundamental element of world formation, is devastating.

Catastrophic earthquake:

The longer the list of natural disasters on this planet, the longer we will find all the more devastating disasters. One such well-known catastrophic disaster is the earthquake. Earthquakes are surface vibrations caused by various internal processes that take place inside the earth's surface, which greatly disrupts the civilization that has developed on the surface of the earth's surface.

Earthquakes cause erosion and erosion. Excessive earthquakes caused large buildings to collapse like houses of cards. Every year, earthquakes cause massive loss of life and property around the world. Scientists have yet to find a way to stop this cruel irony of the world.

Catastrophic Tsunami:

Probably the most catastrophic disaster on the list of natural disasters in the world is the tsunami. This tsunami not only destroys civilization by a single catastrophe, but also a combination of various natural disasters that wreak havoc on public life. A tsunami is a massive surge in sea level caused by any kind of inland activity within the sea surface.

Although the total number of catastrophic tsunamis that have occurred in the world is not very large, one tsunami is enough to wipe out a sea adjacent town. The eastern and southeastern parts of the Asian continent experienced a similar catastrophic tsunami in 2004. The earth has not yet been able to fully recover from the damage caused by the tsunami.

Natural Disaster Remedy:

Honestly, there is no way to completely cure a natural disaster that is still beyond the reach of science. It is only through advance warning messages that the effects of natural disasters can be avoided. However, it is also true that the influence of various human civilizations also falls on this nature.

It may be possible to prevent some natural disasters by imposing some control on those self-destructive actions. In this context, the trend of increasing global drought can be mentioned. The more the process of filling the earth with wetlands and cutting down trees, the more the tendency of drought will increase.

On the other hand, if we want to artificially control the normal flow of the river through dams, the global trend will also increase tremendously. Therefore, keeping in mind the environment, human beings have to immediately reach out to the so-called developmental activities of their civilization.

Remedy Initiatives:

Various national and international initiatives have been taken at the national and international levels for the prevention of natural disasters and for the prevention of these disasters. Elsewhere, continental organizations have been set up to provide early warning of earthquakes, tsunamis and catastrophic storms, while a number of governmental and non-governmental organizations are working around the world to protect the environment.

At present, the well-wishers of the world have realized that only if the environment is protected, people will be saved from various disasters. That is why there is a huge campaign going on all over the world for the protection of the environment. Various international celebrities are constantly coming forward in this campaign. In addition, special disaster response teams have been formed at the national level in each country. They work to protect people from devastated areas by fighting natural disasters.

Conclusion:

No matter how much man has progressed in the way of the progress of his civilization, in the vastness of this creation all of it has become very insignificant. Numerous natural disasters that are constantly occurring on the face of the earth bring this fact before us. Therefore, it is the absolute duty of all of us to respect the greatness of this creation.
