Its nice to know that people can be so generous and get togather for a worthy cause but the authorities in some of this countries where this tragedies occur on a regular basis need to learn from the experiences and get a effective disaster management system in place so such a great loss of life could be avoided or atleast minimized. This countries like the Philippines should learn from other countries in the region where similar disasters also occur and who have got systems in place to manage or atleast to minimize the loss of life when such disasters occur
