I think 'individual/personal' understanding and preparation for disasters/uncertainties should be included in school curriculum. Together with other 'life sciences' such as 'personal health and fitness', 'social tradition and cooperation', languages (Thai, English, ...), personal finance and accounting, personal emotion and response management (lust, anger and grief [LAG] control), ... This learning may later become a family practice, a social tradition and a national trait (population/standard basic skill for all people to learn).

We should be back into a 'do-it-yourself' (DIY) living (and not waiting and blaming government or the world).

The first change will start at oneself (even in a selfish way). Others may follow the examples we set.

For example: we can ask (ourselves or students in a class) "where is the safest place when there is a flood/fire/storm/draught/plague/...?"; "How do we live if we don't have gas/electricity/water/food/shelter/...?", and so on. We may find many answers that fit individuals and many that fit groups and communities. Some answers will depend on (unique) local features and some depend on external supports. But not all answers will work at the time of urgent need. But if we don't try to help ourselves first...
