What's the most relevant natural disaster in your nation?

Postby Cqing » Mon Nov 26, 2012 5:54 pm

We are located in east asia. The winter might be a pain but tsunamis damage alot of coastal poorly constructed buildings.

Hurricanes, Typhoons, Tornadoes, Earthquakes, name it; we consider it relevant.

Mostly though

Ion Storms.

Ion Storms are an absolute bitch.

Hurricanes, mostly. The place is in tropical waters, so any hurricanes coming ashore will come ashore here first.
If they don't come ashore here, then it's somebody else's problem.
Earthquakes and tsunamis are also significant, but very rare.
Also, hippies are a very dangerous natural disaster, so we try to stop that from even being a problem in the first place.

My nation is located on Lemuria, a continent that sank into the ocean like Atlantis so i guess that a tsunami would be our most relevant natural disaster.

Most likely the flooding of the the Argo River into the flood plains. However tsunamis that come in from the sea are also quite relevant in the Argo Islands.
The Argo Islands are a chain of islands in the middle of the Sea of Gold. This sea is part of the Imperial Ocean. The Argo Islands is often known for its gentlemen. We prefer to act in a civilized and reasoned manner. We grow groomed beards. However, this is not very descriptive of our behavior on the battlefield. We have civilized uniforms but we our soldiers our vicious.

Mostly blizzards and typhoons. We've rarely ever had to deal with tidal waves or tsunamis.

Our most relevant and most common natural disaster would be the common sand/dust storms that blow through at least twice a month.

Mainland Epicsauce is prone to earthquakes, flooding, and sometimes volcanic eruptions.

Western Epicsauce is prone to tornadoes, blizzards, droughts and occasionally hurricanes

Eastern Epicsauce is in a tsunami zone and is prone to flooding and landslides.

Although, Epicsauce treats all natural disasters seriously and as a relevant threat, and will do all it can to keep its citizens safe. One example is the precautions we take for one of the worst natural disasters possible, a meteor impact. We have lots of sprawling underground cities cities and farms that people can live in for generations, and we have our largest and most powerful ship, the Vancer to destroy or change the direction of an asteroid. Speaking of the Vancer, it's also our best defense against an alien attack.

Since we are an island based nation, flooding is the most relevant natural disaster in the TBRE, and thus something we are well-prepared for.

For the west coast: primarily earthquakes and the associated landslides and tsunamis.
For the inland and eastern coastal areas: flooding, draught, the occasional hurricane/tornadoes.
In the far south: high winds and winter/ice storms.

Sandstorms. Normally, they're nothing too special, but they can get fucking nasty.

Also, in the southern and western states, the temperatures semi-frequently reach boiling, and quite a few people (usually tourists and kids) boil to death.

The only natural disasters we get are flash flooding and heavy snowstorms.
Please note: Central Lothian is the direct successor to Mid Lothian*. As a result, I am still called Rebecca, I am still a Grammar Nazi and most information pertaining to ML also applies to CL (although I will be taking this time to change a few things).

* - And I may refer to the country as Mid Lothian. If I do, assume that I mean Central Lothian. (And not to be confused with "Midlothian" - I'm using that as a fascist version of CL.)

Waspeaters is situated in just the right place to be smugly oblivious to natural disasters. That said, whenever we have a heavy snowfall, you'd think that a serious earthquake or something had just happened - we're not very good at dealing with snow...
