Tongan volcano eruption and tsunami

[Lilith7]

Once again it will be the people of impoverished nations who suffer, and the wealthy nations who will provide aid. Surely, sensible action now is a better economic decision than sending in emergency aid when disaster takes hold.

And doing something now would perhaps cost less than waiting for each disaster & then dishing out funds to help.

Moving buildings from low lying areas would make a good start, as would a ban on vegetation too close to houses in areas prone to fires. It will of course cost money but its unlikely anyone will die due to that being done; we know from experience that some almost certainly will in flooding or fire.
