Question 1.
\nDescribe any disaster that occurred in your area or that you watched on TV. What measures could have been taken to reduce its impact?
\nAnswer:
\nRecently we had floods to \u2018Budameru\u2019 due to heavy rains. Houses, fields and roads were inundated with these floods. In our area, 8 persons missed due to these floods. All the crops were washed out. Many animals were drowned in the water.
\nWe should control them flood by channelling this \u2018Budameru\u2019 water to the Krishna river. The people in the danger zone should be sent to elevated areas. Donors should be encouraged to supply them food and clothing. Drinking water should be supplied to them. Medical facilities should be arranged. Thus we can reduce its impact.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nHow can the disaster be prevented\/managed?
\nAnswer:

In seconds we heard shouting \u2018earthquake, earthquake\u2019. All of us ran out immediately. One building at the end of the road collapsed. There were some breaches in the walls of the houses.

          Question 1.
          \nDo you know what tsunamis are? How they are formed? How they can be predicted and how you can save yourself if you are residing in any of the coastal districts of the state ? (Textbook Page No. 256)
          \nAnswer:
          \nThe term \u201cTsunami\u201d has been coined from the Japanese words \u2018tsu\u2019 meaning harbour and \u2018name\u2019 meaning waves. Tsunamis are huge waves generated by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or underwater landslides which devastate coastal communities. Tsunamis caused by nearby earthquakes may reach the coast within minutes. When the waves enter shallow water, they may rise to several feet or, in rare cases, tens of feet, striking the coast with devastating force. The tsunami danger period can continue for many hours after a major earthquake. With the use of satellite technology, the Tsunamis are predictable. With the cautions given by the department, we will move to the safest places to save ourselves.<\/p>\n
