Preparing the Community for a Natural Disaster Under such changing global conditions, we can never be sure about the safety of our homes and families.

In a comparatively safe area i.e. a high plain vast ground to build up permanent safe shelters with the arrangement of all the basic necessities under them so that people of the community can stay there.

Buildings should be low rise on solid iron structure, with gap on the sides, made up of cement and brick.
