With support from United Nations, countries will be encouraged to share information about disaster reduction, for instance, (1)_______________________. One of the most important things the program plans to do is to remind us of what we can do to protect ourselves. For example, we can pack a suitcase with flashlights, a radio, food, drinking water and some tools. This safety kit may help us survive a disaster until help arrives. Besides, (2)__________________________. These measures can help to limit the destruction by natural disasters. The comparatively mild effects of the northern California earthquake in 1989, are good evidence that we do have the technology to prevent vast destruction. The recent disasters, on the other hand, prove that people will suffer if we don’t use that technology. When a highway collapsed in northern California, people were killed in their cars. The highway was not built according to today’s strict standards to resist earthquakes. Individuals and governments have to be farsighted. (3)_________________________. Although such a program can’t hold back the winds or stop earthquakes, it can save people’s lives and homes.
