The inevitability of natural disasters and aforementioned conditions make disaster management a complex process requiring comprehensive planning and multisectoral management. The foremost question that haunts all social scientists dealing with the issue of disaster management in modern times is how mankind despite the amazing scientific progress continued to be a spectator to the fury unleashed by disasters. This question brings to light the varied inter-linkages between society, polity, economy and last but not the least environment all of which have to be carefully examined and explored in any research undertaken in this area.This research work on the basis of analysis of the following three hypothesis

Congress should not allocate $1 billion to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) disaster relief program to relocate climate-threatened native villages in Alaska because it is not the right solution to the problems these communities face due to climate change. Not only is one billion dollars not enough money to relocate all threatened communities, but FEMA is also not the right organization that should be responsible for this effort. Furthermore, relocation is a temporary solution to an enduring problem—eventually, climate change impacts will catch up to the new locations. Instead, money should be granted to the Denali Commission and Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) incrementally to 1) help relocate villages under immediate threat and 2) to work with the communities to build sustainable and resilient infrastructure. FEMA is not only the wrong agency to be handling relocation as it does not have a clear understanding of the various communities and their needs, but also the disaster relief program is a reactive measure rather than a mitigative one.

We recently did a debate on a major problem in the world today, environmental issues. Two students were given a topic, like landfills, deforestation, wildfires, etc., and had to debate on pros and cons on whether or not it is good for the environment. I did not like the setup of the debate because I could not hear some people and I did not feel fully engaged in the conversation. Overall, I liked how we were free to talk at times and the connections to real life scenarios. This was the first time I heard about Live Google which I thought was a really cool part of the presentation as I was able to expand on an idea more.
