There is a huge problem when it comes to Natural Disasters in the world because there are so many types of disasters that may happen and so many opinions within different countries about how to recover from a disaster which is why the United Nations is ready to take a stand and make a reasonable explanation as to why Natural Disasters take place, an action plan when a disaster strikes this world, and if it’s a possibility to eliminate natural disasters.
The United States is very saddened when it comes to their attention that a natural disaster has occurred some place in the world. The environmental committee is responsible for the natural disasters debate because the United Nations needs to come up with solutions on how to prevent a natural disaster from taking place and that comes with the climates through out the world. The United States is a big role in how the United Nations need to continue through this topic because the USA has helped many countries with their natural disasters such as Haiti and Japan.
In the United States, there is disaster preparedness which includes all the plans that the US would go through if there happens to be a catastrophe. The goal is to start small and work with close allies of one’s country and to expand outward with other countries after each small group of countries come up with their disaster plans. Disaster mitigation, managements, and prevention are all steps in the United States working towards a complete resolution to natural disaster issues in this world.
