The natural disasters in India and all over the world are increasing day by day . The biggest contributor to this change is global warming and the subsequent climate change. The seasonal patterns are getting disturbed, extreme climatic occurrences like hotter days or sudden heavy rainfall are getting more common, and the natural ecosystem is getting severely affected by the same. This causes inconsistency in agricultural output, which increases food insecurity for the people. These changes also increase the chances of diseases in the population because of extreme weather conditions.

The increased occurrence of disasters seems to be affecting everyone equally. But unfortunately, it is affecting the poor disproportionately. There are varied reasons for the same. One of the major reasons is the place where the underprivileged people live. As these people live on the margins of society with improper drainage and poor infrastructure in the exteriors of the city, therefore, when extreme events take place, these people are the ones who take the brunt of the humanitarian crises. This causes human loss as well as financial troubles for the underprivileged. To make a difference for underprivileged people during disasters, Riddhi Siddhi Charitable Trust has started different disaster management initiatives.

One of the most vital things a person loses during a disaster is the ability to get regular healthy food for themselves. This happens during disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and hurricanes, as all the resources needed for food are destroyed. In the case of the currently increasing number of landslides and floods, the cases of disease increase due to contamination of human food. Therefore, there is a need for healthy, nutritious, and instant food items at times of such events. This is where our charitable organisation’s crisis relief efforts come into play. Our volunteers carry out food campaigns in the affected areas.

Aside from making individuals feel better, appropriate clothing protects them against adverse conditions such as cold, rain, or heat. People can become ill if they are not dressed properly. Warm clothing can help combat illnesses. Wearing light clothing in hot weather can help prevent rashes and heatstroke. That is why our charity organizes clothing drives during disasters to preserve the health and dignity of individuals in distress. This ensures everyone has all they require to remain sound, safe, and feelalive again.

After the initial disaster relief activities, the most important part is the long-term recovery of the people and the areas where the disaster caused the maximum amount of destruction. For the people who have lost their loved ones, special camps are carried out to make sure they get proper support to deal with their loss. A help to rebuild the infrastructure is also necessary, like the destroyed houses of the people. At the same time, to make sure these events are not repeated, preventive measures should be taken for the betterment of society.
