Challenge your negative thinking with positive statements and realistic thinking. When encountering thoughts that make you fearful or depressed, challenge those thoughts by asking yourself questions that will maintain objectivity and common sense.
Effective communication is very important during a disaster. Effective communication can help reduce many anxieties and stresses during a disaster.
Remember that no one can predict the future with one hundred percent certainty.

Focus on the reality of the situation and do not let your worries and fears get the best of you.
