what happens after a calamity? a calamity is a event that causes extreme destruction to a community an example is a typhoon which my country just recently experienced and i observed that after the typhoon has passed there seems to be higher cases of people breaking into other people's houses and it made me wonder whether it is because after a calamity people have lost a lot of their properties or money which is why they especially need it this time and this pushes them to do illegal things
do you think that there is an association between a calamity and higher cases of crime in a country?
Natural disasters have a huge impact on individual, society and national life. After a natural disaster, people suffer a lot of damage. People's homes and farmlands are destroyed. Many people die. Those who survive experience extreme shortages of water, food and daily necessities. Along with this, many people are traumatized and mentally broken.
Along with the government and various organizations, ordinary people also join the rescue efforts. Roads, shops, bridges and power systems are destroyed. Communication systems are completely cut off, making it difficult to get accurate information.
There is a need to rebuild people's broken homes or infrastructure. Awareness increases to protect against such disasters and efforts are made to build such disaster-resistant infrastructure.
