Classmates and Professor,

The United States of America’s government can still sustain several relationships with assisting institutions and achieve total control over different disasters. Entering into close working relationships with assisting partners will help the government achieve complete control through the support provided by these institutions. Unlike the government, non-governmental organizations and other assisting bodies like FEMA have firsthand information and expertise to manage disasters. The assisting agencies play several essential roles in helping the government achieve full control. Occasionally, these institutions make assessments on several disasters, which help them develop an extensive understanding of these natural disasters. Collaborating with these agencies is effective in ensuring full sustainability.

The government’s different initiatives resulting from positive work relationships will help formulate better policies and have improved considerations when handling disasters. By maintaining law and order, providing crucial rescue services, and encouraging the significance of insurance, citizens across all states will have been prepared for unexpected disasters (Tang et al., 2021). FEMA’s prowess across several states in coordination with the Department of Defense, the U.S. Navy, the U.S Northern Command, and the National Guard has helped millions of people across the United States prepare and recover from disasters. Being at the centre of essential rescue services like choppers and ambulances, maintaining law and order, and encouraging other mitigation considerations still puts the United States government at a pivotal role in addressing natural disasters.

During disasters, governments must oversee several events in their jurisdiction. During natural disasters like floods and earthquakes, most residents of the affected areas have their security threatened. Some have their homes and property destroyed, leaving them unprotected. Governments need to maintain control during these tragic times by maintaining law and order. Deploying the army and other disciplined forces in these areas is very significant in helping governments control these situations.

Governments need to achieve control over disastrous events. Equipped with some of the most sophisticated and advanced rescue services and equipment, governments showcase their ability to control disasters. Therefore, they need to avail their rescue services, equipment, and ability to avoid the spread of these disasters. Moreover, these governing bodies should be significantly interested in achieving control over disasters to protect their citizens. According to Dzigbede et al. (2020).” disasters like coronavirus have claimed the lives of millions of people across the world, acting as a wake-up call for governments to seek control over these developments.”Governments need to address these concerns effectively to avoid fatalities. In my opinion, governments should seek control over disasters.
