Jammu and Kashmir Floods Photos & Kashmir Floods a National Disaster Updates

The Jammu and Kahmir floods is a natural disaster and now this time India is totally focused on to rescue the citizens form Jammu and Kashmir to the safest place as soonest possible. I remember this type of floods was started from Mumbai 2005, then Ladakh in 2010, Uttaranchal in 2013 and now in 2014 the Jammu and Kashmir is struggling with such a natural disaster. We can see on a daily basis many people have rescued by India Army, India Air Force, Indian Border Security Force, NDRF, and many societies.

Over the course of the 20th century, the number of natural disasters reported each year grew by leaps and bounds. In 1900, according to data from EM-DAT, the international natural disaster database, fewer than 10 natural disasters were reported. By the year 2000, nearly 550 natural disasters were reported.

More disasters can spell more bad news for much of the world. For example, a 2013 report from the World Bank predicted that a severe monsoon season, which usually only occurs once every 100 years in India, could soon occur every decade. A severely heavy monsoon season impacts the crops grown and people’s access to food.

Being ready for a disaster isn’t about living in fear. It’s about knowing you’re prepared, for whatever life brings your way.
