The theme of the discussion of my group is one of topic about natural disaster in the state of West Virginia. Heavy rain turned rivers and streams into torrents,cutting off several towns. West Virginia received a quarter of its annual rainfall in a single day, the US National Weather Services said.The Foods are the worst in a century in some areas hundreds of people have had to be rescued. President Obama ordered federal aid to supplement state and local recovery efforts in the area. States of emergency have been declared in 44 of the state’s 55 counties,and up to 500 soldiers have been authorized.
Opinions
My opinion about this topic is preparing for disasters is necessary for people who live in everywhere. West Virginia is one of the countryside areas ,so there is little high buildings and its climate is ordinary. The state don’t have enough shelters and almost all people haven’t experienced the big disaster such as heavy rain. The lack of experience and preparing of disasters caused this serious damages. I think the best solution is teaching the skills of preparing for disaster and recovering damages. People and countries that have experienced disasters should not only donate to stricken areas but also teaching how prepare and recover.
