Nowadays,we have kinds of technologies(科技)to protect us from different disasters. We even know where and when some disasters,like the typhoon and the flood,will hit. While most of the new technologies are far away from us,some around us can help people in disasters.
The drone(无人机)is one of them. It can be used to send food and water when a natural disaster happens. Very often the buildings are too dangerous for rescue(救援)teams to get in. They can make the drones fly into the buildings to search for those who are still alive first. The drones are also a useful tool for firemen,helping them find and fight wildfires. In some faraway places,drones are the fastest way to send medicine to people in need.
Social media(社交媒体)is also a useful tool when it comes to natural disasters. With it,people can know about the natural disasters before they hit. And some social media platforms(平台)allow people to mark themselves as safe after disasters,so others can know their situations.
Social media is also a place for up-to-date(最新的)news,so people can learn what is going on in the disaster areas. Besides,many social media platforms allow people to raise money for those in disaster areas. The money will help them get back to normal(正常的)life as soon as possible. For example,livestreaming(直播)is one of the most popular social media platform. It helped raise a lot of money for Henan after the flood in 2021.
These technologies can help when there is a natural disaster,but we still need to prepare necessary tools and learn important skills to protect ourselves.
