A] Mock drill is useful
B] Effective disaster management makes us well prepared for future.

Answer 1

A. It is very correct to say that mock drills are very important and useful. These drills should be conducted at every work places, schools, public places etc. These drills ensure a way of checking the preparedness of facing a disaster. Through mock drills,

• we can evaluate the response or reaction time to a disaster
• we can identify our own abilities
• coordination between various departments of disaster control can be improved
• we can check the competency of the planned actions
• we can identify the possible errors and risks

B. We know that disasters are sudden and unplanned and thus can't be avoided in most cases. But if effective disaster management is employed and exercised, then we would certainly achieve the abilities to face the adverse effects of disasters. Hence, through effective disaster management, we actually make ourselves prepared for future. Through effective disaster management,

• we can supply essential commodities to the people after or before disaster
• we can arrange rescue for the affected
• we can rehabilitate and rebuild the affected area in short span of time
• we can minimise losses of life and property
• we can build tools to assess the damaged caused
