f.Communication is very important during a natural disaster because it is probably the only way to be rescued or saved.There are many different forms of communication,such as mobile phone or telephone which is used to call for help or rescue.Internet is also a form of communication which can be used to send e-mails or inform someone for help or rescue.Satellite phone is also a vital form of communication and is mostly used during emergencies.During Hurricane Katrina,a satellite phone was used,by the army,to rescue some people from the devastating disaster.While communicating you need to give some kind of information to whoever is going to answer you.That information would probably be where you are or what problem is happening.If this information is not given,you would probably suffer without anyone trying to help you.Before communicating you need to know to what you are going to say,so that you will not waste time thinking what to say.While communicating you can say that there is a disaster or emergency and you can say that you need immediate help and you also have to say where you are for whoever it is you are communicating to.The hardware or software needed to establish a communication is important.This hardware or software might be an internet connection or a labtop or it might even be a cell phone.Without this type of hardware or software it will be almost impossible to communicating with anyone.

Natural disasters

Communication
Communication is very important in emergencies, because without communication its very rare that you'll be safe from any disaster, there are many ways you can communicate, as soon as you communicate (in any way) you'll be safer knowing there's somebody that knows your in danger.
There are many forms of communication, as i mentioned earlier. Some forms that were recently used in Tsunami's and Hurricane's is the phone and the internet. sometimes those objects are not available in many ways therefore we need to go to more manual things, like mirrors, smoke, etc.
The essential information that needs to be sent during an emergency, is the emergency itself, the location and probably the time. Sometimes before the emergency occurs you might be able to warn someone or get ready the tools of communication. For the communicating online all you need is a mobile or a computer and a internet connection.

The Bangladesh Cyclone


The population density in Bangladesh (2,639 people per square mile ) is leaving some people homeless. When Cyclone Sidr struck many people had no where to go and many people were lost, the density was much less, b;ut this was nothing compared to what happened in Bangladesh in 1991.
