The main natural disasters in Colombia are landslides, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Colombia is part of the Pacific Rimg of Fire and the Andean Volcanic belt. Because of its location, Colombia is more prone to Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Colombia is known to be one of the most disaster primed countries in the world. At least 85 percent of the population are exposed to two or more diasters. If I was in charge of Colombia I would try to first prevent earthquakes, or better prevent them.My country is at a very high risk of earthquakes because of its location. Tsunamis are important but not as important as earthquakes because only western part of the country is at risk. The country at whole is at risk of earthquakes because there are two plates that run through it. I think with earthquakes there is more disaster with the country as a whole than with tsunamis. I would have everyone rebuild their homes to make them secure in case of an earthquake so that no one would be greatly affected and they would still have their homes after the disaster. everyone’s home would be safe and make them according to the earthquake regulations. I would also make sure everyone took classes to prepare the citizens in case there was a catastrophic event. I would make shelters and have enough food and toiletries for everyone. I believe if I was in charge of Columbia there wouldn’t be anyone suffering if there was a disaster. If I had to build a house in colombia I would build it in an area inland but somewhere not too populated. That way supplies wouldn’t run out as quick and I wouldn’t have to worry about so much traffic everywhere of people trying to get help.
