Response Time Critical Disaster Relief Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

if we can learn anything from examples past
it must be mistakes tragedies will future occur
errors in actions decisions natural disasters
are inevitable therefore build on solid ground
plan to prevent minimize damage treat injuries
devote resources into recovery reconstruction
waste not precious aftermath time in censure
urgency demands immediate aid plan programmes

swift aid response times are paramount critical
injuries untreated rescue countdown time enemy
will depend on access expertise specialist teams
adequate clean water disease epidemic prevention
supply food clothes shelter rebuild infrastructures
prepare site civic community emergency aid stations
