1 Disasters are tragedies that destroy our property, our population, and overwhelm our
communities. The UNGA (United Nations General Assembly), recognize the magnitude of
Catastrophes, and put worldwide effort to save the property and loss of life. Catastrophes affect
the workplaces, individuals, and various communities. Thus, they require a response and a
multisystem investigation. The United States must take action to reduce the Natural Disaster and
worldwide efforts to reduce the property and loss of life.
Response to catastrophes is needed regionally, nationally, locally, and internationally,
and there is a necessity to recommend psychology program for the disasters management such as
social justice repertoire, prevention, and training. Counseling psychologists are in a different
position to enroll in disaster to maintain efforts because of their training and values. Some
challenges relate with the global catastrophes and action is taken for its resolutions. Further show
how real-world crises and conflict can easily resolve by using various training tools. Crises
around the world, such as an earthquake, housing bubble, explosion, and devastating tsunami, are
international disasters that impact on whole globe. Emergency management professionals are
placing more emphasis on training to work safely in limited resources. Training in medical
prevents not only the illnesses of patients with limited resources but also prejudice stimulates
disease. (Montgomery and Kapucu, 2011).
Global catastrophes training focuses on building the staff capacity, Volunteers, National
Societies, response at all levels during before and after the disasters. Training is provided to
work together in a team. The main focus of global catastrophes management training is
improving the technical skills of the participants and team management. It aims to provide
knowledge, exchange of experience and the creation of a network among disaster. It also focuses
on the availability of disaster control tools, quality and the improvement of coordination for
disaster response. (Dodds, 2019).
2. The U.S. provides essential support regularly to foreign countries that are troubled by tragedy.
The growing intensity and frequency of disasters, which may link such as earthquake, explosion,
and devastating tsunami, affect the population. FEMA (Federal Emergency Management
Agency) is an agency that coordinates with United-state for disasters related problems. It

provides financial aid goes to helping affected zone repair roads, buildings, and other public
infrastructure. Funeral and medical expenses also provide by this agency.
Disaster falls into different broad categories such as, preemptive action, short-term
response, and long-term recovery — preventive action related to the hazard mitigation, and short
response to emergency preparation.
If the disaster is domestic, then the responder immediately focuses on expulsion and
water, food, medical care, and shelter where needed. The military in this phase provide services
such as rescue, search, and support. After 30-90 days of a Catastrophe, agencies provide
response, working with local and state governments abolish debris and repair necessary
infrastructure. The government also provides financial assistance to them those not covered the
disaster insurance.( A. and M. ,2013)
The U.S. government helps endowment and support to international organizations and
other governments by sending the supplies and emergency responders, transported by the
United-state military. The USAID (The United States Agency for International Development)
also provides experts, recovery plans, and contractors for craft relief.
