Relief goods



            Packing and disbursement of the relief goods should be done quicker. 

                             Pilferage and tampering of relief goods has been prevalent in many cases of calamity.  People who involve in such activities should be ashamed of themselves. Generosity is the need of the hour but not a mean act.

                                 Enhanced voluntary activities are needed during calamities. One should not expect laurels or benefits in return. One needs to come out of the narrow-mindedness and indifference, to assume the role of an active volunteer. 

Thefts and robbery at the calamity affected region



                Professional thieves become active when they hear about the destruction caused by the calamity. What is worse, is that some survivors assume the form of thieves. They lurk at valuables of the helpless. Many valuables and belongings remain unattended as long as the injured are hospitalized.
       
                It is the law and order that should take of curbing down this menace. Such activities should be checked by the authorities. A dedicated patrol should be put in place to prevent the occurrence of such activities. 

A stitch in time saves nine



            A timely intervention can save numerous lives and those who become physically handicapped after the calamity.



                                 The authorities should invest more time and intellectual energy in order to explore the possibilities of retrieving the victims who get clung between the debris.





 The relief should be rapid and at the same time a smart one.





 Enough number of choppers should be kept ready for the contingencies so that relief operations do not get impeded because of the land drift. Fresh entrenchments and fissures that emerge as a result of earthquakes of high intensity. As such, reaching the needy by motor-vehicles remain beyond feasibility. Only a smart operation can help more and more victims from succumbing to death. Smart work cannot be done without a deliberate and sophisticated mechanism.
