My choice for this topic has been necessitated by the fact that disasters affect many people globally and this has been a serious problem in the world. With the knowledge on how to handle such problems, I have concluded that it is important to choose the option in order to bring out changes and solutions. This is because it is unpleasant incident that occurs in different parts of the world. Disasters are of two types; natural and man made. Fires and earthquakes are examples of natural disasters while conflicts and industrial accidents are examples of man made disasters (Kahn, 2012).

It is very simple to obtain the set goals and objectives in achieving my health science degree. First and foremost, man made disasters need to be controlled by educating people on their causes, effects and how they can be avoided. For example, most accidents are caused by carelessness of people in handling the machines or the instruments they are using. By ensuring machine operators are highly qualified, it will minimize the rate of accidents which occurs from their use. In addition, every institution which is operated with machine should have safety materials like fire extinguishers. This will ensure safety of the staff involved and other people exposed to immediate effects of the disaster (Kramer, 2009).

There are several key issues which need to be considered when pursuing this project. First, one should be fully qualified to pass out these measures for them to be understood well. If they are wrongly passed, it will be unfair and it may or may not bring any change in their life after a disaster occurs. In addition, one should ensure to teach people how to use machines such as fire extinguishers. I would perform this concern practically to ensure everybody gets the concept well. With all the above information, people will be prepared for any kind of disaster that may occur (Kahn, 2012).
