No one plans for a crisis; it just hits. At times, it hits when you least expect and you least prepare. Environmental disasters are the worst calamities on the globe. They destroy property and lives.

When lucky to be alive, life must move on; how do you move on with life when you are emotionally and physically disoriented?

The kinds of disasters we are talking about here are earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, heatwaves, among others.

Extreme climatic conditions are the leading cause of significant disasters; they can get you while travellings the main or at home or in a holiday camp.

The meteorological department tries as much as possible to give you warning signs and preventive measures.

Still, some of them never get detected on their radar and hardly hit individuals and communities.

No one wants to get to the melee, but knowledge is power in surviving the storm.
