Evacuation Dbq
I think evacuation was in some ways a great success but in other ways I do not think it worked so well. The government knew that it would be difficult for parents to say goodbye to their children, and forewarned the people of Britain that sacrifices would have to be made. However, it was voluntary meaning it proved a struggle to persuade some people that it was the right thing to do. Sources H, D and B had to advertise evacuation showing that it perhaps did not work as well as they had to use propaganda to make and persuade people to want to send their children to the countryside. Source D shows evacuees enjoying a bath together, they are all smiling and laughing. However, like lots of photos shown at the time, it was published with government

    On April 13, 1919, in Amritsar, India, a great tragedy occurred that day. The massacre that killed at least 379 people and the wounding of at least 1,200 others was committed by the British general Reginald Dyer (Cavendish).

    The Great Storm in Britain in 1987 had a number of devastating effects, including the death of 19 people in the UK and over £1.5 billion in insurance claims. However it is argued that some of these effects could have been avoided if the emergency services had been able to respond effectively. Fire services dealt with four months worth of calls in one night, but as in the worst affected areas phone lines were, depite the best efforts of the phone companies, down these calls were usually for more minor incidents, which effectively blocked up the phone lines for the serious incidents.…

    The impacts of this storm were disastrous. Not only was the storm incredibly powerful, but incorrect information broadcast by the BBC from the Met Office told the public that the storm would just miss the country and that, other than heavy rain, the weather would be okay. This meant that many people went to bed without preparing for a night of very strong winds. With proper warning, it is possible that people would have made the conscious decision not to park cars near old trees, or spend the night in solid shelter. However, I feel that it is unlikely that many people would have taken these precautions, as is so often the case with any storm or natural disaster, so I do not feel that there would have been a drastic reduction in the number of casualties or the scale of property damage.…

    In August 2005 there was a massive storm brewing and growing into a storm like no other storm, Hurricane Katrina. In the days before the storm hit, there were many agencies gathering information and trying to give a good guess on when, where, and how bad this storm was going to be. Some people listened and prepared and some did not. Why? Why didn’t some people even know the storm was coming? Why did some leave? Why did some stay? Who were these people? Not too sure how much critically thinking was going on here, or was there, and the people of New Orleans could not do anything else but stay. The documentary showed that most people that left were the ones who could afford to leave and the rest were left to fend for themselves. By law if there is a mandatory evacuation ordered, then all must be given ways out of the area by government help, which by the movie said never happened.…

    Due to all the bombs being dropped many people were forced to move out of their homes. This caused a lot of hardship for the civilians because people had to move house due to the “ghastly [air] raids” source 2 says. Source 2 also tells us that “For amidst such suffering and hardship…Everyone seems intent only on patching roofs, propping up walls, cooking fried potatoes on an upturned electric iron” this source tells us that life would have been very hard for the civilians. We know that this would be true because source 1 shows us that houses have fallen down and people are moving out because it is very unsafe to live where they are. Source 4 also tells us a little bit of how hard it was for the civilians in London, it shows a German man dropping bombs on London but it also shows that it did not affect them. Even though a lot of deaths occurred there was lots of buildings destroyed, they still stood strong, this doesn’t mean it wasn’t hard for the civilians though. Warfare did cause a lot a hardship for civilians.…
