Every year gets even worst and the only way is to empower the people to save their own life and rescue their love ones..
Disaster preparedness will only be meaningful if you teach them how to build their own rescue boat and life vest using available and recyclable materials.
We can save millions!!! The earlier you train the more people you can save…
