The harm of natural disasters
1. The drinking water supply system was damaged.
Most natural disasters may cause the destruction of drinking water supply system, which will be the first problem after the disaster, and often lead to the outbreak and epidemic of large-scale intestinal infectious diseases in the early stage after the disaster.
2. Food shortage
Although transporting food to the disaster area has become the first task of disaster relief, it is still difficult to completely avoid local food when a large-scale natural disaster involving a wide area occurs. Coupled with the destruction of basic living conditions, people are forced to store food under harsh conditions, which can easily lead to food mildew and corruption, food poisoning and the prevalence of food-borne intestinal infectious diseases.
3. Fuel shortage
In large-scale natural disasters, fuel shortage is also a common phenomenon, especially among victims trapped by floods.
4. Water pollution
Floods often pollute water bodies and cause large-scale epidemics of some water-borne infectious diseases, such as schistosomiasis and leptospirosis.
5. Living conditions have been destroyed.
Floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis will all cause large-scale damage to living conditions. At first, people are forced to sleep outdoors, and then they may live in simple shacks for a long time, resulting in concentrated population and crowded living.
