disasters are occuring all over...are we prepared to face them?

Yesterday I got to know this:
USA lost many lifes on 11/09/2001
Japan lost many lifes on 11/03/2011
Combine these 2 dates 11.09.01+11.03.11 = 22.12.2012
The predicted date for World's end

Quite horrifying!!!!!!!!
 
To be frank, India is one the most capable of facing disasters, to make the situation under control, to make best out of the available resources.
but
however, We are still not prepared to face the disaster. why? the reason are enormous.
I would like others to giv reason....
 
India is capable or not, thats not my issue, I believe in preparing myself to protect my nearbies from any disaster.
Some survival tips:
Do not panic. Remain calm! Do not jump from the building
If Inside, If you are NEAR AN EXIT, leave the building as soon as possible. Put your arms over head to protect yourself against possible objects falling from above and move away from nearby buildings. Watch out for traffic.
If you can reach the EXIT quickly or you are situated in HIGHRISE BUILDING/UPSTAIRS stay inside... do "DROP, COVER and HOLD" Sit or, lie beside or underneath sturdy furniture. Hold on to the furniture. Cover as much of your head and your upper body as you can. When the shaking stops get up and evacuate the building. Don't use the elevators
If Outdoors, Move to an open area away from all structures especially buildings, bridges and overhead power lines
If Driving, Stop in an open area away from all structures especially bridges, overpasses, tunnels and overhead power lines. Stay as low as possible inside the vehicle.
 
India is totally not prepared to deal with disasters the way a country like Japan or America might be. We have had enough examples of national tragedies when India was unable to mitigate the disaster properly.
