DISASTERS”

11. VOLCANIC ERUPTION :
A volcanic eruption is the
spurting out of gases
and hot lava from an
opening in the Earth’s
crust.

12. EARTHQUAKE :
An earthquake is a
violent shaking of the

phenomenon which includes a
wide range of ground
movement, such as rock falls,
deep failure of slopes and
shallow debris flows.

19. TSUNAMIS :
Tsunami is a fault
movement on sea floor,

MANAGEMENT

36. DISASTER MANAGEMENT :
 Disaster management (or Emergency
management) is the discipline of dealing with
and avoiding risks.
 It is a discipline that involves preparing for
disaster before it occurs, disaster response
(e.g., emergency evacuation, quarantine, mass
decontamination, etc.), and supporting, and
rebuilding society after natural or human-made
disasters have occurred.

37. DISASTER MANAGEMENT :
 Disaster preparedness
 Disaster response
 Disaster mitigation

39. DISASTER PREPAREDNESS
.

40. DISASTER PREPAREDNESS
It is to ensure that in time
of disaster appropriate
system, procedure and
resources are in place to
assist those afflicted by
the disaster and enable
them to help themselves

41. PRECAUTION AGAINST
EARTHQUAKE
•Immediately seek a safe location such as
beneath a table or desk
•Cover the back of your head and your eyes to
minimize injury from flying debris.
•Do not take elevators during an earthquake.
•If cooking, turn off heating elements
immediately.
•If outdoors, stay in open areas away from
buildings, power lines, trees, and other potential
hazards.
•If driving, stop quickly but safely and stay in the
vehicle. Do not stop near power lines, bridges,
overpasses, or other potentially dangerous
locations.

42. PRECAUTION AGAINST CYCLONE
i) Keep your radio on and listen to latest weather warning
and advisories from the nearest All India Radio Station. Pass the
information to others.
ii) Avoid being misled by rumors, pass on only the official
information you had got from the Radio to others.
iii) If your house is out of danger from high tides and
flooding from the river, and it is well built, it is then probably the
best place to weather the storm. However please act promptly if
asked to evacuate.
iv) Be alert for high water in areas where streams of rivers
may flood due to heavy rains.
v) Get extra food, especially things which can be eaten
without cooking or with very little preparation. Store extra
drinking water in suitable covered vessels.
vi) Check on everything that might blow away or be torn
loose. Kerosene tins, cans, agricultural implements, garden tools,
road signs and other objects become weapon of destruction in
strong winds. Remove them and store them in a covered room.

43. PRECAUTION AGAINST FLOODS
- > Don't enter into Flood Water ;It could be
dangerous.
->Stay away from sewage line, gutter,
draining etc.
-> Be careful snakes; Snakes bites are
common during Floods.
-> Stay away from electric pole and fallen
power-lines to avoid electrocution.
-> Don't use wet electrical appliances - get
them checked before use.
-> Eat freshly cooked and dry food. Always
keep your food covered.
-> stagnation of water can bread
vector/water-borne diseases in case of
sickness, sick medical assistance.
-> use bleaching powder and lime to disinfect
surrounding.

44. PRECAUTION AGAINST DROUGHTS
 Rather than irrigating your lawn during the
spring, the grasses should be allowed to
grow naturally. Neither the field should be
scalped nor should it be irrigated before
grasses wither because of dry weather
conditions. Here, one needs to mow
frequently.
 Little dryness of soil & drooping of grasses
during moist weather harden the root to
such an extent that they can tolerate dry
conditions.
 Use a sharp blade to mow the grass in
such a manner that they form deep roots
having a dense cover. The more deep is a
root system, the greater will it extract
moisture from soil.

45. PRECAUTIONS AGAINST TSUNAMI
 If you are indoors, stay there. Quickly move
to a safe location in the room such as under
a strong desk, a strong table, or along an
interior wall. The goal is to protect yourself
from falling objects and be located near the
structural strong points of the room. Avoid
taking cover near windows, large mirrors,
hanging objects, heavy furniture, heavy
appliances or fireplaces.
 If you are cooking, turn off the stove and
take cover.
 If you are outdoors, move to an open area
where falling objects are unlikely to strike
you. Move away from buildings, powerlines
and trees.
 If you are driving, slow down smoothly and
stop on the side of the road. Avoid stopping
on or under bridges and overpasses, or
under power lines, trees and large signs.
Stay in your car

49. WARNING SYSTEM
.

50. INDIA’S RESPONSE TO DISASTER

 The scale of relief operation necessary
 The requirement of central assistance and financial
support
Types of central response:
1. Policy response
2. Administrative response
