What should a family do if they face a natural disaster and they lose everything?


Welcome to my Blog! In this opportunity I want to share with you some ideas about what a family or their members should do if they face a natural disaster and they lose everything.




Firstly I want you to know that a family is the best gift that our God has gave us, it means that if you have your family alive and they are next to you, please don't forget to give them a strong hug.



Now, as human people we are always exposed. It can sound bad, but we are exposed to the earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, and so on, so we must think about natural disasters and, mainly, what should we do before, during, and after them?

Perhaps the main thing we can do, is to be there to help between us. As you know we can lose our house, our job, even our past, but there is something that we must not lose and it is our Faith. When a family loses everything because of a natural disaster, their members must have faith in God, because He is the only one who can help us. 
I have been talking with my father and he told me that there was a man called "Job" who lost everything: his animals, his houses, his family (wife, sons, and so on), his money... but he never lost his Faith.


My grandpa used to say, "One thing about natural disasters is their distinctive destructive impact; so as humans making plans, we tend to underestimate the forces of nature." As you can see it is true because sometimes we mistake knowledge for solutions; but knowledge is only the beginning.

By the way, I have been talking with a Red Cross International's worker and he said that the UNESCO provides expert advice and technical assistance to governments to UN agencies and non-profit associations in order to revive the education system after a disaster.



KEEP CALM & HAVE FAITH IN GOD
Don't forget it, will you?
