There are always going to be emergencies and disasters (we live in a dangerous world), some large and some small.  But, even a small emergency can affect individuals and families as greatly as a large one.  An example might be a tornado that destroys only your house.  Others were not affected.  The devastation you experience might be no less than a family in New Jersey or New York who lost their home to hurricane Sandy.   My question to you is who is responsible for responding to your disaster.  Where does personal responsibility and governmental responsibility intersect?  Using Forum, write at least 100 words

Natural disasters are no one’s fault, but it is your job to be ready for said disasters. Certain agencies and public service workers are there for aid, but only after you have done your best caring for yourself. Many ways people can care for themselves is acquiring a generator for either electricity or a refrigerater. Another way people can be prepared for natural disasters is have a storm radio, and a tub in the basement filled with blankets, a change of clothes, flashlights, non perishable food, and some money. In my opinion we should do everything we can to help ourselves first and then ask for help.
