Best wishes to all steemians wherever you are, it's nice to be back in the post contest " Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 5 Week 2: Natural Disaster In My Place "

It's difficult for me to tell about natural disasters which are a challenge for me in this extraordinary community, considering the occurrences of natural disasters that often occur in my beloved country "Aceh seramo Mecca" but I will try to write about natural disasters that occur. I personally experienced.

River overflow

Floods are difficult to enter residential areas

Recently, we have experienced a natural disaster for the umpteenth time, namely flooding, which occurred in several sub-districts of North Aceh and its surroundings due to heavy rains starting at dawn at 12:25 pm at night until the evening again and right at dawn. the water started to sound while I was sleeping soundly and immediately got out of bed and woke my family and didn't feel like getting out of bed and it was already wet as a household appliance and the feeling of panic and sadness that my family felt and outside the house the puddle of water was almost 50cm and continued to rise due to heavy rains and overflowing river water which flooded the residents' houses and my private house.

.What can you do in the current situation?

Rapid movement of residents in dealing with natural disasters/floods

Floods are now causing a very large increase in water discharge due to very high rainfall and occur in several days continuously and now the rain is so heavy and immediately check the big river around my hometown and immediately coordinate with other officials to immediately make a an announcement that residents would immediately be aware of a big flood coming and the rivers overflowed again and continued to rise until they entered their hometowns and not long after that the residents immediately went to the location to make what could be overcome so that the overflowing water could be handled with soil that it has been put in sacks and transported by residents to prevent major flooding and the collapse of the river embankment as in other areas where the river embankment has been broken and brought one of the residents' houses there by the big flood due to the collapse of the river embankment which was handled by residents late there, maybe because of panic and gratitude Alhamdulillah forged t I was immediately resolved thanks to the cooperation of the residents to deal with the occurrence of the embankment breaking due to the overflow of the river water which is getting bigger and continues to grow until now.

Flood
Overall maybe this is what other residents will do, save property first and deal with floods quickly and if there is a big flood maybe we can evaluate residents to a very safe place and this is the most important action to take. In some locations, they have evaluated their residents to a safe place and have built tents to build kitchens for areas that have been hit by a major flood whose houses or places cannot be functioned when the flood arrives.

Here I will invite some steemian to participate in this great contest @moer, @akmal1, @izzatulmaula, @maulidia, @adivender
