Prevention is better than cure | How can we prevent another flooding, earthquake, tsunami, etc.?

Ibnul Qayyim rahimahullah said: فصل: ومن عقوبات الذنوب أنها تزيل النعم وتحل النقم Chapter: Among the ill effects of sins is that they remove blessings and lead to misfortunes There is not a blessing upon a servant that ceases (to exist) except due to a sin, and there is not a misfortune that befalls him except due to a sin, just as 'Ali ibn Abi Taalib radhiyallahu 'anhu said: (ما نزل بلاء إلا بذنب ولا رفع بلاء إلا بتوبة) “No misfortune descends except due to a sin, and no misfortune is uplifted except with repentance.” Allah the Almighty said: {وَمَا أَصَابَكُم مِّن مُّصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَيَعْفُو عَن كَثِيرٍ} “And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. And He pardons much.” [Surah Ash-Shûrâ: 30] And He The Almighty said: {ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَكُ مُغَيِّرًا نِّعْمَةً أَنْعَمَهَا عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ} “That is so because Allah will never change a blessing which He has bestowed on a people until they change what is in their ownselves.” [Surah Al-Anfâl: 53] So Allah the Most High mentions that He does not change the blessing that He bestowed upon a person until the person changes what is in himself; by replacing obedience of Allah with disobedience, gratitude to Him with ingratitude, and replacing the causes for His pleasure with the causes which draw His wrath. So when he changes, Allah changes (his state); a fitting recompense, and your Lord is not at all unjust to (His) slaves. On the other hand, if he replaces disobedience with obedience, Allah changes his state (for the better); He replaces punishment with wellbeing and humiliation with honour. [Al-Jawaabul Kaafi] In Summary: The people are more in need of reminding & repentance than they are of food handouts! Reported by Ibn Abi Shaybah in His 'Musannaf' (2/358): ...from Nafi, on the authority of Safiyyah, who said: زلزلت الأرض على عهد عمر فخطب الناس فقال: لئن عادت لأخرجن من بين ظهرانيكم. “There was an earthquake during the era of Umar, so he admonished the people and said: 'If it happens again, I will leave from your midst.' [Ibnul Jawzi recorded this in 'Al-Muntadham' among the major events of the year 20 AH]
