ABOUT DISASTER IN MY PLACE

Natural disasters are misfortunes that happens to a national, city, town or village, and it is mostly cause by human activities and nutural occurrances. The only way you can dear about natural disasters when it happened is by escaping to a safer place. Man made disasters are cause by human negligent. Some of the disasters include Volcano, earthquake, flood, tsunami and many others. These disasters have been taken away lives every year worldwide. In this article I will like you to read about disasters in my place. The place I will talking about are the areas they affect in my place. The cause of it and the government action against this misfortunes. There are a lot of natural disasters that has helped before in my country but it is not occurrence. Late last year there were a truck that is carrying dinamite to a certain mining site, unfortunately the truck had an accident on the way in a town near by. And the the dinamite exploded when the car falls down and a lot of life and properties was lost in that town. And about two years ago there was a minor earthquake that happened in Accra the capital of Ghana and it was not all that heavy earthquake. And about five years ago there was a heavy down pour in Accra Ghana. And this rain brought a extremely heavy flood and the water entered a fuel tank underground. And as water is always heavy then oil, and because of that the all the oil came out of the tank. And no one knows where the fire came from and it burns a lot of people and properties at the same time.

There are alot of natural disasters that I suppose to speak about but let look at the major ones in my country. One of the major disaster that has happened at least most of towns and cities in my country is the flood. As I have already spoke about. The area that has experience most flood in my country is the Northern Savannah part of my country, that is Sawla, Tuna and Kalba district. This place is near Upper West Region of Ghana. And this area has experience flood continues since 1987 to 2022. And the people leaving in that place has not taken it easy because of their land. And the nature of the land, the seems to be a land full of clay. Though the land is totally dried during the dry season.

The major cause of flood in that area was the slide face area of their land. And people has moved from that area because of the flood that keep casing them every year. Since they always lost life and properties every year. The government of my country has move them from their previous place to a flood place and build houses for those victims.
