2. In the midst of disaster which is more important financial stability or disaster literacy?
Explain briefly.
In dealing with disasters the more important is financial stability. Financial stability
because in terms of disaster, yes, indeed that disaster literacy is also important but
there are some things that can provide us information about disasters like radio,
As
television and social media platforms. In times of disasters financial stability is more
important, now that we are in the midst of pandemic, everybody have literacy of what a
coronavirus is and we can see in the news that money is the problem of the people
because they do not have income and the relief goods from the officials are not enough
for every family. In addition, let us say that we are getting relief goods but it is not
enough for the needs of a family in one week and the government knows that money is
more important in the midst of COVID-19 pandemic. Also, there are unpredictable
disasters, one of the best way to survive to those events is to have a support financially,
considering the safety precautions in case of the disasters, we have innate ways to
survive during or before the disaster, the important is to have the money support on you,
so to be practical, I’ll choose financial stability rather than disaster literacy.
