Danger of ‘natural calamity’ misnomer theSun theSundaily floods banjir nature disaster weather

after day, we are shocked by the variety of natural threats, including the extreme hot weather that we experienced early last year until around September due to the unusual heat wave phenomenon, with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recording the highest sea level temperature in 142 years.

Houses were filled with silt and thick mud, appliances and furniture were badly damaged, while the number of victims affected increased day by day. Despite the second wave of flooding, victims and volunteers toiled day and night, obliterating fatigue to help out in the aftermath. Logging activities are only profitable for a short period of time but cause losses in terms of life and property damage as well permanent destruction of nature in the long term.

At the same time, the roots are able to enhance their grip of the soil, thus increasing the absorption rate of rainwater into the roots of trees, which can reduce soil movement into the river, hence lessening the risk of erosion and landslides. Overall, the risk management system in our country must be reviewed promptly to ensure massive floods such as the one that hit our country recently do not happen again.
