• How feasible is this idea in your opinion?
• What advantages such a system would offer the world community?

Today the world functions on a principle of mutual cooperation and the gains thereof. In such a scenario, a global disaster management system is of greater significance today than ever. I for one find this idea highly feasible, and it would offer great benefits to people across the world.

Let me see how feasible the idea is. First of all, rich economies are in a better position to take part in any disaster management efforts thanks to their being strong in almost all walks of life. Secondly, mobilizing the most important things to manage disasters like men and machinery, technology and essential supplies like medicine, food, clothing, roofing etc. is much easier today than ever. Finally, since mutual benefit is being appreciated world over, mutual participation in distress management is but a reasonable idea, and not many nations would fail to comply.

Coming to the advantages, the foremost thing is that people living disaster prone areas will have great relief. Secondly, a global system will be able to mitigate the gravity of disasters by way of reduced casualties, faster rehabilitation, reconstruction and normal life. Thirdly, all nations would be bound to keep their own disaster management systems in place. For example, if a disaster strikes India, India’s immediate neighbours like Bangladesh, Pakistan and China will be bound to press their disaster management system into action. It is immediate action that makes greater differences in the gravity of disasters.

In short, a universal disaster management system is of paramount importance to- day as the world is frequently being threatened by calamities. Since human welfare is a common cause, such a system will be beneficial for all across the world.
