Abstract:
Rainstorm disasters represent a significant challenge, epitomizing the intricate interplay between human activities and the environment, drawing widespread attention to issues surrounding environmental pollution and control. While it is acknowledged that the cessation of these natural calamities is beyond human capability, this research focuses on minimizing their catastrophic impact. The core objective of this study is to gauge the experiences and perspectives of residents in the study area, shedding light on how they have coped with rainstorm disasters.
Our findings underscore that no land use is immune to the ravages of rainstorm disasters, provided that the chosen land use is susceptible to their adverse effects. The repercussions manifest in the physical devastation of human habitats, serving as a catalyst for urban decay, albeit on a scale that varies from minor to extensive.
Furthermore, our research suggests that the mitigation strategies currently in place require immediate government intervention, given that the well-being of citizens is a fundamental responsibility of the government. The existing mitigation measures carry potentially devastating implications for both human life and property.
In light of our recommendations, it is imperative that Bida town and its surroundings prioritize disaster risk reduction and management. This proactive approach will serve as a catalyst for sustainable development, recognizing that meaningful economic progress hinges on infrastructure enhancement and development.
