Use of modern technology to reduce harassment of people after a natural calamit

A news television channel covering the storm of yesterday which passed over the southern districts of West Bengal adjoining the Bay of Bengal showed that vast areas were plunged into darkness after electric poles collapsed in the storm while train movements in Howrah-Kharagpur section of South – eastern railway were disrupted after trees were uprooted in the storm fell on the railway tracks. Each and every year we are accustomed to witness the same picture. It is no doubt a natural phenomenon which we cannot prevent to occur. But can’t we take rescue operations immediately after such a natural calamity or can’t we take preventive measures like felling of trees adjoining the railway tracks or making the electric poles stronger by use of modern technology so that people have to suffer less?

You can build stuff to a point stronger in areas that see a lot of storms but there is only so much that you can do. Storms are way too powerful. For rescue efforts I think they do the best that they can at times but they have to be concerned about their safety too. It is always sad to see destruction to cities and houses because of the weather. It all goes so quick it is all good one second and the next second everything can be gone
