Hello, my name is Angie Delgado, I´m a student of fifth level of English course, and this is my listening and speaking practice. this is my fourth news

 I am going to talk about the news of a newspaper called voice of America. This history is about Philippines Plans for Disaster. 

PHILIPPINES PLANS FOR DISASTER

SUMMARY

The Philippines lies on tectonic plates at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, for this reason, this country  suffers more natural disasters than other countries,  if the tectonics  plates move , that  could cause earthquakes and others disasters.

Philippine government has begun to use a tool that permits to identify weak structures, this tool is a map and information database and permit to make previous soil studies to estimate the risk

Ishmael Narag is a researcher of the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology. He says being prepared for disasters does not depend on technology, its depend on the prevent information that government give to the people about the risk

COMMENT

I think that the Philippine government and the others governments in the world, must implement more preventions programs for natural disasters and others kind of risks.

On the other hand, it is necessary to make a previous and rigorous soil studies in order to avoid  future disaster , for example it is the  recently case in Medellin Colombia,  where a building collapses and left many victims, don’t only  materials,  deathly too.
