It is hard to save anything after a natural disaster. Mother Nature usually let the wind and birds bring the seeds back first and if the soil is still able to grow trees, it will rebound by it’s self. Environmentalist could start planting trees after a forest fire to prevent soil erosion from heavy rains.

manmade disasters are more dangerous than natural one. it depends on the kind of disaster and every one of them hav their own techniques. maybe ask a more specific question on which disaster u are interseted in

It has been saving itself for millions of years. Without man. We just came on the scene and made do with what was there.
We have a problem in the gulf that was not caused by an earthquake(which could have ripped the earth apart right there) and we would have a Mega Mega leak. But we would have to live with it(or figure out how to utilize it). Maybe we could live near it and maybe we could not. -

If you really mean natural disaster, then there is very little humans can do besides evacuate until the danger has passed. The big debate over climate change, however, is about whether human impacts will exacerbate natural disasters. Now that could be a serious complication. No matter the cause, nature has a tremendous capability to rehabilitate itself but it could take thousands of years. On a geologic scale, this is no problem but since a human generation occupies such a short span on this time line, it is a concern to us. Another point to remember, human intervention can accelerate recovery but short-sighted modifications to prevent incidents in the future can actually increase the likelihood of devastation. Just look at the system of levees and dams throughout the country for flood control. Yet, when a storm event exceeds the designed specifications of the structure, flooding ensues. Our actions actually create more of a problem! Living on the coast is another example. Duh, hurricanes!

ok that depends,
say a big tornadeo has wiped out a small forest.you would probably clean up the area,
plant new plants,
and just wait till it grows back -

By planting seeds and little plants or trees. The biggest problem after a natural disaster is that the soil can be swept away by rain or wind and if that happens, the area can’t get back on it’s feet. Plant roots connect the soil into more firm clusters, and plants themselves protect them from the wind. Mother nature does the rest.
Also, the oil spill isn’t a natural disaster. Natural disasters are things like storms, volcanoes, tsunamis, tornadoes, forest fires (the ones in the summer that are started by dry grass and leaves catching on fire, not the ones from an escaped camp fire), grasshopper swarms, etc.

Good question. The problem is, what will the next natural disaster be? If we don’t know, we can’t prepare for it specifically. And since we can’t predict the type of damage, it’s also hard to say how to restore it.
This is exactly the type of problem in the gulf now. No one thought much about it, so now there isn’t anyone that really knows what to do.

Nature will take care of itself. It always has.
