Disaster after disaster

Disaster after disaster

Let us contemplate the flood calamities that have happened due
to lack of consideration and foresight. All of these cases could
have been avoided if people would plan ahead:
1. Catastrophic floods caused by the absence of water catchment
areas and dwelling in unsuitable locations.
2. Lack of objectivity, poor environmental planning and
construction as well as poor telephone and electrical wiring
(short circuits, conflagrations unavoidable), pipe work and
drainage systems, including unhygienic water conditions and
asbestos contamination.
3. Hazardous garbage accumulation, disorder and no discipline in
all tasks.
4. Traffic chaos, inappropriate road signs and poor safety
standards, no monitoring functions, massive pollution,
unregulated exhaust fumes and noise disturbances.

It is still a complicated and bureaucratically long winded way
to go to change these conditions. It is a pity for these very
valuable people.
