"Home"

Home To Me

When I think of home, I don't think of it as a specific place with four walls and somewhere to sleep, but instead, I think of a feeling. I think of a feeling of comfort and love, of friends and family. This picture is a perfect example of this feeling because it does not necessarily represent a place where I live, but it reminds me of a feeling I had spending time with friends and family in an inviting environment. When I can laugh and love freely and without judgement, that is when I feel home.

Natural Disaster

A natural disaster is the consequence of a natural hazard (e.g. volcanic eruption, earthquake,and landslide) which moves from potential in to an active phase, and as a result affects human activities. Human vulnerability, exacerbated by the lack of planning or lack of appropriate emergency management, leads to financial, structural, and human losses. The resulting loss depends on the capacity of the population to support or resist the disaster, their resilience. This understanding is concentrated in the formulation: "disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability". A natural hazard will hence never result in a natural disaster in areas without vulnerability, e.g. strong earthquakes in uninhabited areas. The term natural has consequently been disputed because the events simply are not hazards or disasters without human involvement. The degree of potential loss can also depend on the nature of the hazard itself, ranging from a single lightning strike, which threatens a very small area, to impact events, which have the potential to end civilization.
