Unanticipated Natural Calamities

Many are asking why there wasn't a warning system in place or if anything could have been done to warn people before calamities take place.

Scientists knew the earthquake had occurred very soon after the event, but because no international warning system had been put in place in certain country’s Ocean, they didn't know who to contact. The rich countries in the Pacific (such as Australia, Japan and the United States), who also suffer far more from tsunamis, do have such a system in place amongst them.

As a cruel irony, just a month or so before this disaster struck, nations around the Indian Ocean had agreed that they did not need a warning system. The costs for poor countries for such a system are considerable, and the likelihood of a tsunami is very small. Time has provided cruel perception after the fact, and now affected nations in the Indian Ocean will be installing a warning system in the region.

Another instance where a great calamity, preferably tsunami, is in the country of Indonesia wherein a town of it almost disappears because of that tragedy. Many lives are taken as well as infrastructure and source of living. This happens because people are not warned that a tsunami was going to happen at that time and place. If only they have the knowledge to know in advance.

Calamities are unanticipated; no one can tell when it would happen even advanced technology cannot tell the exact time and location when a tsunami or natural calamities will take place. There is something that could give human being signs….who are they…. Well, great heroes that could warn humans about natural calamities are the ANIMALS for they can feel and hear things that we, humans can not sensitively feel and hear. Animals can hear a frequency even from far that’s why they could know when to vacate a place and move to a safer one in advance. They could feel the earth’s lithosphere plate movement.

As a proof, elephants in Indonesia are used for transport but that time when the tsunami was about to happen they are bothered and distress and no one can control them. They make noises as if they want to tell something. Another thing, the main reason why there are birds in the mining tunnels because they can sense whether there are poison or harmful on air. When animals are disturbed or if they feel danger they make unnecessary movements and move to places that are secure. That’s why in case of natural calamities we could observe the animal’s behavior for us to know.
