a.A natural disaster which has taken the life of about 250000 people worldwide and affecting the other family members of the deceased person is still a sadness persisting in the lives who survived it and who just visualized and heard it via media. It is nothing not the Tsunami caused by an earthquake in the Indian Ocean dating back to 2004. The imagination of the event even now by oneself is terrific and worrying.

b.This event has affected nearly 15 countries in the world.The loss in India was the most compared to others.Though there was a prediction that earthquake is possible but the effect of it was unimaginable before trying a way to find a solution or a way to escape out of it .It has taken the lives of many in just few minutes.

c.This disaster has made many to experience PTSD irrespective of one who was directly affected to the one who just listened it. Environmental management and emergency preparedness plan has been initiated after this event to handle the post victims.When it comes to family ,it is always best to be aware of what is going around and what natural or man made disaster can be expected.Making sure the family members are informed and they are in a safer place as designated by the government, having adequate or atleast basic supply of foods and sanitary items with them ,pregnant women and children has a better way to be shifted to the camps in earlier.
