The nature shows its furious side every now and then in some or the other region. It can be in the form of floods, tsunamis, droughts, earthquakes etc.

The Government tries its best to help the victims at all costs. But the immediate help of the community, its vigil, preparedness, cooperation, sympathy and mutual understanding matter a lot in the initial phase.
