- Drug abuse includes using drugs without prescriptions, for purposes other than intended, and using illegal drugs.
- Drugs have natural and synthetic origins.
- Natural drugs are sourced from nature, while synthetic drugs are artificially produced in laboratories.
- Drugs can be classified based on their effects, with one category being Stimulants which excite the central nervous system.
Disaster Recovery
- Disaster recovery programs aim to provide relief and aid for those affected by disasters, including rebuilding damaged infrastructure and providing health care and rehabilitation.
- Disaster recovery also includes developing policies to prevent future disasters.
Earthquakes
- Earthquakes are caused by the sudden movement of tectonic plates along fault lines.
- It is impossible to predict when an earthquake will occur, but scientists can identify areas prone to earthquakes.
- Governments can prepare for earthquakes by educating the public about risks, implementing earthquake-proof building practices, and ensuring emergency services are equipped to respond effectively.
Floods
- Flood forecasting aims to provide timely warnings about potential flooding.
- Flood forecasting is an ongoing process, even when the risk of flooding is low.
- Flood warnings are issued when a potential flooding situation is present.
- Flood forecasting is a continuous activity even when the risk of flooding is low.
Flood Mitigation

Flood Safety Rules
-
Before a flood:

Heat
- Heat can be generated by work processes and is essential in many industrial settings.
- In steelworks and chemical plants, proper ventilation and cooling measures are important.
Oxygen Safety
- Oxygen at high pressure can react violently with materials like oil and grease.
- Increasing the oxygen level in the air makes starting fires easier and the fires burn more intensely.
- Leaks in oxygen systems can quickly raise oxygen concentrations to dangerous levels.
- The main causes of fires and explosions when using oxygen include:
- Oxygen enrichment from leaking equipment.
- Use of incompatible materials.
- Use of oxygen in equipment not designed for oxygen service.
- Incorrect or careless operation of oxygen equipment.

- Key actions include:
- Creating an escape plan.
- Conducting family fire drills.
- Identifying fire hazards.
- Ensuring you have the necessary fire safety tools in your home.
Arson
- Deliberately started fires are a significant risk, particularly in areas with history of vandalism and fire-setting.
- Arson can be committed by local youths, but also by employees or ex-employees.
