Take the emerging service industries as an example. While they improve people’s convenience in life, they also indirectly affect people’s cognition and preparation for disaster response. For example, takeaway services have made people accustomed to a convenient lifestyle, but when a disaster strikes, they may ignore their own emergency reserves because of their reliance on this convenience.
In addition, the rise of the sharing economy has also changed people’s ideas about resource utilization to a certain extent. Shared travel reduces the need for individuals to buy cars and improves traffic congestion, but in the event of a disaster, public transportation may be affected, which poses a challenge to personal emergency travel plans.
In the field of logistics, the rapid development of e-commerce has led to the booming express delivery industry. Efficient express delivery services allow goods to reach consumers quickly, greatly satisfying people's consumption needs. However, in the face of emergencies such as natural disasters, the normal operation of express logistics may be seriously hindered. Road damage, power outages and other problems may lead to a backlog of goods and delivery delays. This not only affects consumers' shopping experience, but may also have an impact on the company's supply chain.
In terms of disaster response, a timely and effective early warning system is crucial. Just like the "huge earthquake warning" issued by the Japan Meteorological Agency for the Nankai Trough, it provides people with time to prepare in advance. During the period when the warning is in effect, people should make adequate disaster prevention preparations, including but not limited to preparing emergency food and water, ensuring that communication equipment has sufficient power, and understanding evacuation routes.
At the same time, communities also play an important role in disaster response. A united and organized community can quickly launch mutual assistance actions and jointly cope with difficulties when a disaster strikes. The development of emerging industries can also provide more support and resources for community disaster response. For example, some Internet companies organize volunteer activities through online platforms to provide assistance to disaster-stricken areas.
In short, while the development of emerging industries brings us convenience, it also requires us to think about how to better respond to possible natural disasters to ensure social stability and sustainable development.
