Natural disasters are one of the things that the humans are not culpable, but in some cases we are the responsible of that.

For example our constructions are not the best (in the case of El Salvador) because we used to build houses in every place we can.

In this blog I going to talk about a situation; “what would I do if I lose everything in a natural disaster?”

Well, to start I pray to God and give him the thanks because I’m alive, then I’ll search for help, trying to find authorities, paramedics or people who provide any kind of help.

Try to talk with the local government to convince them to give the necessary supplies, like medicine, water, food, a shelter or a place to stay safe.

I try by myself to search for food, and supplies to help my family and me. But there’s an important thing: “what about other people near to me”. Well for them I’ll try to look for some necessities that they could have, for example any injury, or if I have enough supplies I can share with them.  In the case of the injury, try to find an emergency kit, maybe to give them some stitches or maybe a pain killer.

But there are many scenarios, and different ways to affront them.

 For example in a flood: It may be so difficult to affront it, and without being negative it almost can be difficult to survive, because for me is one of the worst natural disasters ever!

In that case, I would try to look for the city hall help, to give us the supplies and maybe they can evacuate us to the mountains of highest places to stay far away from the waters, then, evaluate the cost of the material things that I had lost and try to work hard to have some of them again, for example re built my house.

In the case of an earthquake, If my house fall down and all the houses in my neighborhood too, try to look for the hurt people and help them...

As a conclusion, survive is a God’s gift and it depends of us how we use it. And to get all again you have to work hard and be active, don’t stay in a corner just thinking, make things by yourself, try to find solutions and always stay with your family, ‘cause they can help you to survive and give you reasons to overcome!
