Is your family safeguarded against disasters?
Last July, we had written about certain things to do as a safeguard against a disaster. The article started with some examples of natural disasters that struck and are etched in our memories. Incidentally, all those happened on 26th of some month in some year. Nobody knew that only four months later, another tragedy, this time, man-made, would hit our beautiful and enterprising city – Mumbai. The horrible memories of the incidents that happened in Mumbai on November 26, 2008 still haunt many of us. While the news channels were busy analysing the Mumbai attacks, the Chennai floods went almost unnoticed in December 2008. The fact is, whether natural or man-made, calamities are a part of life. We cannot wish them away. What we can do, is to prepare ourselves to handle such situations better.
