Join us for an insightful discussion on how to cope with natural disasters in this episode of #mahindrapodcast. We delve into the sinking of #joshimath #uttarakhand #india, examining the science behind it and what needs to be done by authorities to prevent similar tragedies. With the recent #turkeyearthquake2023 causing a staggering 50,000 lives lost in #turkey and #syria, we explore how birds and animals often predict natural calamities before humans do. We also discuss the relationship between #earthquakes and #tsunamis, with tsunamis often being more #devastating when they reach the shores. We highlight the #scientific principles behind tsunamis and the #technology used for early warning and saving lives. Additionally, we examine the human tendency to forget and ignore past disasters, and how #artificialintelligence can help solve this problem. During this conversation, we discuss the #memory-#cognition tradeoff hypothesis and Stoned Ape theory. Our discussion also touches on important topics such as #climatechange and #climatecrisis, particularly the challenge of #sinkingcities. #jakarta and multiple islands around the world are currently facing this issue, but the #netherlands is working on innovative technology to prevent the sinking of their cities. Join us for an eye-opening conversations on how to prepare for and cope with natural disasters.
