Q1. How do you think that you would react and what would your response bein the face of a hurricane?
Ans. Hurricanes, earth quakes, thunder storms and other natural calamities come un-announced and one seldom has quick instincts to immediately save oneself against them. The best way to combat against a hurricane is to take safety measures at home and stay alert through T.V and radio and in worst circumstances to move to another place.

In case I am fine and I do not get any serious injuries, I will try to help others in the surroundings. To avoid oneself from a suicidal attack one has to be vigilant in his surroundings, keeping an eye on the people around. If somebody is wearing odd clothes e.g. warm clothes in summer season with a strange behavior or holding some heavy bag with a hesitant and frightened face, I shall inform the police about him.
