The aftermath of a disaster can be devastating and highly overwhelming. This is more so because no one can ever be ready for one. Even with knowledge or information of the probable occurrence of a disaster in advance, it can be destabilizing knowing that valuable property may be lost or destroyed. Yet, there is little or nothing that can be done about it.
The devastating effect is higher when the disaster comes unannounced or spontaneously. This is because lives could also be lost apart from the loss of properties. It is also essential to state that sometimes the magnitude of the destruction of a disaster could vary.
While some disasters are natural, there are a few that are man-made. Recovery after a disaster is not easy, whether natural or artificial. For a comeback after a disaster to be possible, a lot of money is needed.
Often it is difficult for the victims of the disaster because they are the ones that have lost so much. In fact, for some, surviving would depend on the external support that can be received from the government or philanthropic individuals.
The need for more funds from the Louisiana state government to provide aid and post-disaster relief for disaster victims cannot be more stressed. While it is not the use that anyone hopes for, it is still crucial for a sufficient amount of funds to be budgeted and made available in the case of one.
If the state funds are made available to aid in providing post-disaster relief, it would not be long before victims get back on their feet and become self-reliant again. This would help the state's economy recover quickly and progress.
The allocation of more funds for aid and post-disaster relief is not just a reasonable response to disaster; it is also a vital move for the state.
