This is a result of bad behaviour of many people. I think our planet says last words before next big disaster. Look at te Global Warming. We should all know by now that water is a precious resource. It’s not only the source and support of all life, but it gives us pleasure and helps us the produce goods and services that we depend on and enjoy.

More drained water causes the rapid rise of the oceans’ water levels. You can see the relative volume of all water (and air) compared to the volume of the Earth. If this sounds to you like global warming, then you’ve hit the nail on the head. Scientists now estimate that the effect of urbanization itself makes for a large proportion of global warming, adding significantly to the effect that greenhouse gasses have on the climate. People please, protect your homes and surroundings.

Very interesting blog. Thanks for posting it. I will re-read it tomorrow and learn some things. Just keep speaking out because people need to know these things. You have inspired me to go outside at the end of the week and wash my car in the rain, assuming we have no lightning. We have three days with 50% chance of rain or greater. Slabs are cracked all over the area, I haven't seen a yard of green grass in months, and people are stepping in big cracks in their yards. Animal water bowls are full of ants. We are being asked to only water lawns at certain times on certain days AND to conserve electricity to avoid brownouts. Last year people listened and it helped. It is a mess but at least our homes are not flooded and our bridges are not washed out.

I believe people are in for some big changes in their lives and I feel for those who are not going to be able to adjust. Some would like to be more conservative but just have their hands full with a large family, a busy job and various hardships. These people will be okay if they have to cut back but many people are going to be shocked and angered at some of the sacrifices we are going to have to start making soon.

Keep on posting and talking and blogging.

Although Pakistan has recovered a lot but still more have to be recovered after the biggest earth quake in Pakistan's history 2005. Share some experiences how a natural disaster hit the thoughts of a single person and overall a country's strength.

This site tells a lot about the aftermath of the natural disaster in 2005. Over 3 million were left homeless. How can anyone comprehend what that would be like? Certainly I can't. It was simply a nightmare for the country and I think people all over the world mourned with Pakistan.

And sadly, this article states that half the 73,000 killed were children. Families will rarely recover from losing a child.

I did read on their web site that Australian Aid International was one of the first NGO groups on the scene and that they stayed long after the initial emergency to help with long term recover. Check out this good organization.

This type mega disaster is exactly why people all over the world are working together to improve temporary housing for victims. Tents come in first because they are easy to bring in and set up. Still, we need something just as quick and easy but with staying power, not tents that will blow away or fall down in a bad storm.
