We must prepare for natural disasters

The Cyclone Vardah has left the huge trail of destruction in terms of floods, damaged property and multiple deaths in India and neighbouring areas. The whales stranded on the Tiruchendur Beach in Tamil Nadu, India are yet another clear reminder of the consequences of climate change.

It is imperative that all countries around the world take note of these frequent incidents begin to prepare for nature's repercussions to environmental damage. We must plan out strong strategies and prepare the funds necessary to tackle any oncoming environmental emergencies.
