Distribution of Natural Resources

There are four major phases of disaster management: The measures of disaster management include mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. In a like manner, all of the phases are useful in managing the risks and conserving lives and in the disaster recovery process.

1. Mitigation: This one has steps that focus on risk reduction by enhanced structure including infrastructure, act and zoning laws and protection to the environment which may involve creating barriers against floods or placing buildings in cas.
2. Preparedness: This belongs to the preparedness SA measures which entail the establishment of early warning system, first responders training, practice of mock drills and formulation of evacuation plans. Community and responder awareness and readiness is provided by preparedness, in order to minimize the number of fatalities and reduce confusion.
3. Response: This include action the moment and just after the disaster; may this be search and rescue, medical help, shelter and food among others. The first result will be the avoidance of the minimum of losses and the stabilization of the given situation.
This will entail reconstruction of the structures that were destroyed; reconciliations, reconstruction, and reconstruction of the sources of income; rehabilitation of the mental and psychological. Stability will happen in the communities also it will pass lessons learned to build capacities against future vulnerabilities; recovery will happen.

Some of the problems that affect coordination in disaster management are; These problems are due to complexities, limitation of resources and uncertainty. The challenges can be addressed through the improvement of infrastructure, enhanced early warning system, education, implementation of land use regulation and required cooperation. Affirmatively managed disasters that integrate all these strategies correspondingly enhance community resilience, mitigate emerging consequences, advance quicker and more secure recovery.

• Benefits of GMOs in Increasing Ecological Diversity in Degraded Ecosystems:
  
• Soil Restoration: GMOs could be used to improve the quality of soil through nitrogen-fixation and phytoremediation that diverse plants and animals can live within it.
• Pollinator Resources: GMO plants with pest resistance will decrease the use of pesticides; this, in turn, opens up resources for bees and butterflies to flourish upon.
• Prevention of Erosion: GMOs are deep-rooted and drought-resistant which allows them to stabilize the soil; and on this basis, stable habitats are prevented from further degradation.
  

It leads to more diversity of plants with GMOs that mimic the characteristics of native species, provide shelter to specialist species, and prevent invasive species from flourishing over them in order to regain ecological balance.
It increases carbon sequestration through carbon-fortified GMOs, thereby supporting plant as well as microbial diversity.

• 
  Climate-resilient: This GMO, with climatic adaptation and disease resistance, sustains the ecosystems in conditions of extreme variations.
  Nutrient-enriched GMO ensures food and shelter to sustain higher biodiversity at various scales.
  

High-Risk Controversies Associated with Genetically Modified Organisms:

1. Unintended Effects on Organisms and Ecosystems

Metabolic and Growth Change: Genetic manipulation of an organism can alter the metabolism and growth, and interaction with the environment.
Influence on Ecosystem: GMO can influence the ecosystem. Its changes can be passed to the wild populations, resulting in the transformation of local biodiversity.

2. Human Health Issues
New Allergens: The introduction of GMOs could also introduce some new allergens, hence the major threat to consumers who may face allergic reactions especially with allergenic genes of common allergens like nuts or milk being used.
Antibiotic Resistance: Transfer of antibiotic-resistant genes from GM foods to the gut flora is still another health risk
3. Gene Transfer Hazards
Horizontal Gene Transfer: The risk of transferring genes to non-target organisms is negligible, but it might cause ecological imbalances and enhance resistance to pesticides or antibiotics.
Vertical Gene Transfer: If the GMOs cross-breed with the wild species, new transgenes may change the survival rate of the GMOs besides affecting the wild populations as well as in the experiments conducted with transgenic fish.

4. Super Pests and Weeds Evolution
Development of Resistance: The selective pressure allows pests and weeds to develop resistance, making them “superbugs” and “superweeds.”
Increased Herbicide Intensity: The complexity can lead to higher dosages or different herbicides that may damage adjacent ecosystems and raise their chemical content.

5. Impact on Beneficial Organisms and Ecosystems
Impacts on Non-Target Organisms: Aggression effects can be triggered to advantageous insects and other species due to GMO traits associated with pest resistance.
Soil Quality: Residues from herbicide or pest-resistant plants can impact key soil organisms, including bacteria, fungi, and nematodes.
6. Viral Resistance and Disease Spread
Novel Virus Reassembly: The emergence of transgenic viral resistance can lead to new viruses assembled from existing viruses, which may introduce new plant diseases into a region.

7. Food Biotechnology Safety Issues
Allergenic and Toxic Components: Gene transfer may also lead to new allergenic proteins or toxins, such as those already identified to be linked to some GM bean varieties.

Mutation Potential: Gene insertion may also cause new mutations that do not express any predictable impacts on human health.

8. Ethical and Socioeconomic Concerns
Tampering with Nature: Ethical concerns and long-term effects of manipulating organisms in nature
Food Labeling: Should GMO food be labeled for public awareness?
Intellectual Property: Corporate players control ownership rights over GMO seeds, which can indirectly affect the rights of farmers and the marketplace at large

Accountability
Accountability is a noun referring to the act of accepting responsibility. It may be personal or very public. Accountability on the part of government includes decisions and laws that may affect its citizens; for an individual, accountability takes the form of acts and behaviors. Sometimes, however, accountability means admitting you did something wrong. Punishment may follow, but accountability reflects ownership and a readiness to admit mistakes.

Ethical governance:

Governance refers to the structures, processes, and systems guiding organizations, institutions, and governments in their operation.
It involves the processes whereby entities determine their goals, evaluate their performance, comply with applicable laws and standards of morality, and communicate with other entities having an interest in such organizations.

Although the term is most closely associated with the management of corporations (corporate governance), it also applies to the public sector (public governance), non-profits, and international organizations.
