Flood is always terrible, but sometimes it becomes disastrous. Unfortunately, it disturbs many areas of the world after some years on a regular basis. It is even very painful to watch these images, imagine how difficult will it be to face these conditions in reality. As human beings, we must think to make our lives from good to best by Ideas to help Flood Affected People by avoiding these circumstances in future to take some emergency measures.
First requirement is to consider this situation sympathetically and empathetically. It is our responsibility to solve this issue. If we look into it then it will be easy to deal with it. If we can feel the great and giant issues these people are facing, we can deal them with more sincerity. If we continuously feel that these poor people are facing, we will not be able to do anything. If we can feel that we are facing the issues of the loss of beloved ones, homelessness, severe lack of food and a long list of related problems.
The second step is to plan a workable plan-out, on the emergency level. To utilize water in making electricity. In this way, electricity shortage can also be managed and the issue of load-shedding can be resolved. For this, small dams can be made, which can be established in a year. Short-term workable projects must be started.
An issue which must be faced is the issue of money and services. This can be resolved by:
- Initiating a campaign by creating an ambition in common public, for saving our people. Our people can donate a lot of amounts for this noble purpose.
- We can arrange exhibitions to collect money.
- Cricket matches can be played, where cricketers can play for free for their nation.
- Schools can collect money by encouraging students to save some money from their pocket money.
- Government employees can also donate some portion of their salaries.
- Fun fairs can be arranged.
- Artists can sell their paintings for this.
- In the projects for making dams, very limited workers can be hired on reasonable salaries or volunteers can also be hired.
- In the working place, the people of the affected areas can also be motivated to work on low wages.
- Overseas Pakistanis can also help.
Another help, that can be provided to the people affected due to flood, is by making their cemented houses, to resist against possible mishaps in future. In this term, the government must support from its own resources and with the help of NGOs. Rich people and families can also contribute.
The affected people must help themselves. It is crucial to reset their lives in these helpless conditions. They can do a lot for themselves by making their houses. Then they can start some work on their own. It is true, they need support but if they believe in Allah and in their selves, they can do a lot. some ideas can be presented:
- They can build their homes with bricks and mud, to start their lives again.
- They can have some job i.e. selling goods, can work in factories and can teach children.
- They can apply for other jobs as well.
- Women can make whatever hand-craft they know, to earn their livings.
- They can teach children if they are educated.
In these ways, a large number of affected people can make their lives better. They can become a more productive part of their country. It does not mean at all that the country’s management is not responsible to rehabilitate them, it only means, their activeness can make a great and positive change in the situation.
