3. What is Conservation of Environment???
 Is a practice of protecting the natural environment on individual, organizational
or governmental levels, for the benefit of both the natural environment and
humans.
 Protect and Nurture
 Is the wise management and utilization of natural renewable resources in a
sustainable manner to ensure the maintenance of biodiversity.

4. Environment Degradation:
 Scientific and technological development, Uncontrolled economic
and socio cultural activities and unsustainable exploitation and
usage of natural resources have contributed to severe environmental
degradation and spread of pollution which poses threats to humans
and natural habitats.

5. What are the threats to Environment???
 Pollution
 Deforestation
 Soil Erosion
 Water Scarcity
 Illegal Species Trades
 Over Fishing
 Infrastructure Development
 Slash and Burn Practice
 Climate Change
 Smothering of Coral Reefs

6. How to Conserve Natural Resources???
 Turning off lights
 Decreasing the use of Paper
 Throwing Trash in the Trash Cans
 Switching to Non Plastic Water bottles and Bags
 Driving Less
 Using Green Lights
 Closing the door while A/C runs
 Planting Trees
 Preventing Pollution
 Follow The 3 R’s:
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

7. Practice Of Reusing and Recycling

8. Reuse of everyday bits and Pieces:
 Carrier bags and Twist Ties
 Newspaper, Cardboard and bubble Wrap
 Old Clothes
 Scrap Paper
 Tyres
 Used wood
 Envelopes
 Jars and Pots

9. Make Recycling a Practice:

10. Why Recycle????
 To convert materials/waste into reusable material
 Landfills are full of items that could be recycled
 Recycling puts objects through a process that allows them to
be used again

11. Benefits of Recycling
 Recycling reduces the need for land filling and incineration
 Recycling prevents pollution
 Recycling saves energy
 Recycling decreases emissions of greenhouse gases that contribute to global
climate change
 Recycling conserves natural resources
 Recycling helps sustain the environment for future generations

12. Disaster

13. Disaster
 Disaster is any occurrence that causes Damage, ecological disruption, loss
of human life, deterioration of health and health services on a scale,
sufficient to warrant an extraordinary response from outside the affected
community or area.
According to W.H.O.,” A disaster can be defined as an
occurrence of either
natural or man made that causes human suffering and
creates human needs
that victim cannot alleviate without assistance.”

14. Meaning of Disaster:
(Alphabetically)
 D : Destruction
 I : Incidents
 S : Sufferings
 A : Administrative Failure
 S : Sentiments
 T : Tragedies
 E : Eruption or communicable diseases
 R : Research Program and its implementation

15. Types of Disaster:
 Natural Disaster:
Earthquakes,Tsunami,Volcanoes,Landslides,Hurricanes,Tropical cyclones,
Environmental Pollution, Climatic hazards like Drought, Famine, Forest
fire, Dust storm, Sandstorms, Avalanche, volcanic eruptions.
 Man Made Disaster: Deforestation, Chemical & Industrial Accident,
Socio-Political Forces, Technical Disasters like nuclear accidents,
hazardous waste accidents, oil spill and leakages, Social disasters like
mass- migration, riots,
Chemical weapons, Radiation emergency, Bioterrorism,
pandemics and disease

17. Disaster Management
A continuous and integrated process of planning, organizing, coordinating &
implementing the measures which are necessary or expedient for:
 Prevention of danger or threats of any disaster.
 Reduction of risk of any disaster or its severity or consequences.
 Capacity building.
 Preparedness to deal with any disaster.
 Prompt response to any threatening disaster situation or disaster.
 Assessing the severity or magnitude of effect of any disaster.
 Evacuation, rescue and relief.

18. Phases of Disaster Management

19. Pre-Impact Phase
 Disaster Preparedness
* Evaluation of risk
*Adopt standard and regulations
*Organize communication and response
mechanism
*Ensure all the resources – ready and easily
mobilised.
*Development of public education Programme.

20.  Impact Phase
*Search, rescue and First aid
*Field Care
*Triage
*Tagging
*Identification of dead

21. Post Impact Phase:
 Disaster Response:
Mass Evacuation, Search and Rescue, Emergency medical services,
Securing Food and water, Maintenance of law and order,
Implementing the disaster management plan.
 Rehabilitation: Water Supply, Food Supply, Basic sanitation & personal
hygiene, Vector Control.
 Disaster Mitigation: Lessoning the likely effect of the emergencies,
includes protection of vulnerable population and structure.
Improving structural qualities so that medical casualties can be
minimized
Mitigation complements the disaster preparedness and disaster response
activities

22. Goals of Disaster Management:
 The goal of disaster management is the safety
and sustainability of human lives.
 Safety is related to avoiding death and injuries
to human lives during a disaster.
 Sustainability is related to livelihood,
socioeconomic, cultural environmental and
psychological aspects.

23. First Aid

24. First Aid:
 First aid is the first and immediate assistance given to any
person suffering from either a minor or serious illness or
injury, with care provided to preserve life, prevent the
condition from worsening or to promote recovery.
 5 Main aims of First Aid:
- Preserve life
- Prevent the escalation of the illness or injury
- Promote recovery
- Pain relief
- Protect the unconscious

25. ABC of First Aid:
 A= Airway
A blocked airway can hamper a person’s ability to breathe.
You can help open someone’s airway by doing the following:
1. Place one hand on the person’s forehead.
2. Gently tilt their head back.
3. While tilting their head, use two fingers from other hand to
carefully raise their chin.

26. B= Breathing:
 Breathing supplies the body with life giving oxygen. Hats why
it’s crucial to determine whether someone is breathing or not.
To determine if a person is breathing normally, take these steps:
1. Place your ear directly above the person’s mouth while looking
down at their body.
2. Check for the following signs of breathing: sound of their
breaths. Feeling of their breath on your cheecks. Their chest
moving up and down.
3. Continue to do this for no more than 10 seconds.

27. C= Circulation/Compression
If you find that person isn’t breathing, chest compressions are
vital for restoring blood circulation in the body.
In 2010 The American Heart Association issued updated First
Aid recommendations. As a part of this, the order that you
perform ABCs has been changed to CAB:
1.Circulation/Compression
2.Airway
3.Breathing

28. The ‘D’ of the first aid:
Deadly bleeding
Defibrillation
Disability

29. What to do in an EMERGENCY Situation:
 Check the Danger:
-Fires
-Downed power lines or other electrical hazards
-Flooding or fast flowing water
-Chemical Fumes
-Falling or falling Debris
-Vehicles
-Violent People
-Aggressive animals.
 Call for help
 Be Kind and calm
 Provide first aid care

30. First Aid for Bleeding
 Cover the wound with a gauze or a cloth
 Apply direct pressure to stop the blood flow
 Don’t remove the cloth. Add more layers if
needed. The cloth will help clots form to stop
the flow.

31. First Aid for Burns:
 Flush the burned area with cool running water for several
minutes.
 Do not use Ice
 Apply a light guaze bandage
 Do not apply oinments, butter or oily remedies to the burn
 Take ibruprofen or acetaminophen for pain relief if necessary.
 Do not break any blister that may have formed.

32. First Aid for Fractures
 Don’t try to straighten it.
 Stabilize the limb using a splint and padding
to keep it immobile.
 Put a cold pack on the injury, avoiding placing
ice directly on the skin
 Elevate the extremity
 Give anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen
or naproxen.

33. First Aid For Cardiac arrest:
• Call 911 or your local emergency number.
• Give an Aspirin (To chew or swallow)
• Give Nitroglycerin (If Doctor have already
prescribed)
• Begin CPR if the person is unconscious
• Automated External Defibrillator(AED)
