Rebuilding The New World After A Disaster

By Anna West


It is almost impossible to imagine a global disaster because it is so unthinkable and would completely change the lives of everybody on the planet. There is a huge number of threats that could change the Earth in ways that would make current societies crumble. It is a comfort to know, however, that former civilizations of the past were able to rebuild their society after events like these, letting the people of today know that rebuilding the new world is possible.

Science and history are some of the most important things that mankind can preserve in the face of a global disaster. Without the knowledge of the past, progress would be greatly slowed after a disaster. It would also be hard to know what caused the disaster in the first place.

When a major catastrophe strikes that threatens the lives of a vast number of people, one of the first things to go are the laws and governments that once kept societies stable. The loss of this stability can lead to widespread deaths and general chaos, and it is important for order to be restored as quickly as possible. It is sometimes the case that in the reforming of governments, more just laws can be established.

It is possible for people to survive on their own when terrible disasters have struck. However, they increase their chances of making it by finding a group to be a part of. Having a group means having protections and someone to provide when that person is sick or weak.

It would be ideal if the society that is formed after a major catastrophe has wounded mankind was more conscious of the environment than ever before. It is quite possible that any disaster that might threaten humanity could be caused by their own impact on the environment. If a new society was more aware of this and respected the responsibility to be in harmony with the environment, more catastrophes might be avoided.

The initial periods after a catastrophic incident are usually about survival and nothing more. The ability to preserve one's self in the face of these kinds of conditions is what separates those who live from those who die in these kinds of situations. However, there comes a time after the initial survival period in which it becomes time to thrive.

There are many people that die all the time from not washing their hands, and this is a very critical practice in the times directly after a disaster has hit. When resources are scarce, there probably will not be access to medicine and antibiotics to help someone get better from having harmful bacteria enter their body. The best thing to do is prevent it before it happens and simply keep the hands clean.

One of the highly important things to take into account in these types of situations is where the bathroom will be. This is something that should be decided as soon as the water source is established. This is because if the outhouse is less than 20 meters away from the well or other type of water source, the water could easily become infected and threaten the healths of anyone who drinks it.
