5. WHAT IT INVOLVES ??
Dealing with and avoiding both natural and man
made disasters.
Preparedness before disaster.
Rebuilding and supporting society after natural
disasters.
7. NATURAL DISASTERS
A natural disaster is the effect of a natural hazard
(e.g., flood, tornado, hurricane, volcanic eruption,
earthquake, or landslide)
8. LIST OF TOP 10 NATURAL
DISASTERS
1. Cyclone
2. Earthquake
3. Tornado
4. Volcanic Eruption
5. Tsunami
6. Flood
7. Wildfire
8. Drought
9. Avalanche

9. CYCLONES
A cyclone is an area of closed, circular fluid
motion. It has low pressure on the inside and
high pressure on the outside.
The center of the storm is called the eye and it
has the calmest water and the lowest pressure
10. EARTHQUAKES
It is the result of a sudden release of energy
from the earth’s crust that creates seismic
waves.
They are measured using seismographs.
11. EARTHQUAKES
.The Valdivia earthquake also known as the
great Chilean earthquake is the biggest
earthquake ever recorded. It hit Chile on
May 22, 1960 with a magnitude of 9.5 and a
death toll of around 6000
12. TORNADOS (TWISTERS)
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air
that is touching both the ground and a
cumulonimbus cloud.
Tornado conditions are caused when different
temperatures and humidity meet to form
thunder clouds
“Twisters” can attain speeds up to 100 miles an
hour
13. VOLCANIC ERUPTION
A volcano is an opening in a planet’s surface
which allows hot magma to escape from below
the surface.
Study of volcano’s is called Volcano logy and
volcanic eruptions are measured using Volcanic
Exclusivity Index
14. TSUNAMI’S
Tsunami means harbor wave and is caused
by the displacement of a large body of water
normally an ocean or a large lake.

53. PRINCIPLES OF DISASTERPRINCIPLES OF DISASTER
MANAGEMENTMANAGEMENT
• Disaster management is the responsibility of all
spheres of government
• Disaster management should use resources that
exist for a day-to-day purpose.
• Organizations should function as an extension of
their core business
• Individuals are responsible for their own safety.
• Disaster management planning should focus on
large-scale events.
55. DISASTER PREPAREDNESSDISASTER PREPAREDNESS
Preparedness should be in the form of money,
manpower and materials
• Evaluation from past experiences about risk
• Location of disaster prone areas
• Organization of communication, information and
warning system
• Ensuring co-ordination and response mechanisms
56. CONTD….CONTD….
• Development of public education programme
• Co-ordination with media
• National & international relations
• Keeping stock of foods, drug and other
essential commodities.
57. E.g.: Indian Meteorological department (IMD) plays a key
role in forewarning the disaster of cyclone-storms by detection tracing. It
has 5 centres in Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, Vishakhapatnam, Chennai &
Mumbai. In addition there are 31 special observation posts setup a long the
east coast of India.
The International Agencies which provides humanitarian assistance to the
disaster strike areas are United Nation agencies.
Office for the co-ordination of Humanitarian Affair (OCHA)
World Health Organization (WHO)
UNICEF
World Food Programme (WFP)
Food & Agricultural Organisation (FAD)
E.g.: Non Governmental Organizations
• Co-Operative American Relief Every where (CARE)
• International committee of Red cross
• International committee of Red cross
60. DISASTER MITIGATIONDISASTER MITIGATION
• This involves lessening the likely effects of emergencies.
• These include depending upon the disaster, protection of vulnerable
population and structure.
Eg. improving structural qualities of schools, houses and such other
buildings so that medical causalities can be minimized.
• Similarly ensuring the safety of health facilities and public health
services including water supply and sewerage system to reduce the cost
of rehabilitation and reconstruction.
This mitigation compliments the disaster preparedness and disaster
response activities.
62. DISASTER RECOVERYDISASTER RECOVERY
• Successful Recovery Preparation
• Be vigilant in Health teaching
• Psychological support
• Referrals to hospital as needed
• Remain alert for environmental health
• Nurse must be attentive to the danger
63. MAJOR DISASTERS IN INDIA

States and districts will administer mitigation funds.
• A National Disaster Response Fund will be administered by NDMA
through the National Executive Committee. States and Districts will
administer state Disaster Response Fund and Disaster Response Fund
respectively.
• 8 Battalions of National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) are being
trained and deployed with CSSR and MFR equipments and tools in eight
strategic locations.
• A National Disaster Management Policy and National Disaster Response
Plan will also be drawn up.
70. LESSONS LEARNT
Be Prepared : Preparedness and Mitigation is bound
to yield more effective returns than distributing
relief after a disaster.
Create a Culture of Preparedness and Prevention.
Evolve a code of conduct for all stake-holders
71.
72. FUTURE DIRECTIONS
• Encourage and consolidate knowledge networks
• Mobilize and train disaster volunteers for more
effective preparedness, mitigation and response
(NSS, NCC, Scouts and Guides, NYK, Civil
Defense, Home guards )
• Increased capacity building leads to faster
vulnerability reduction.
• Learn from best practices in disaster
preparedness, mitigation and disaster response
73. FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Mobilising stakeholder participation of Self Help Groups,
Women’s Groups, Youth Groups, Panchayati Raj
Institutions
Anticipatory Governance: Simulation exercises, Mock
drills and Scenario Analysis
Indigenous knowledge systems and coping practices
Living with Risk: Community Based Disaster Risk
Management
74. INVEST IN PREPAREDNESS
• Investments in Preparedness and Prevention
(Mitigation) will yield sustainable results, rather than
spending money on relief after a disaster.
• Most disasters are predictable, especially in their
seasonality and the disaster-prone areas which are
vulnerable.
• Communities must be involved in disaster
preparedness.
75. NEW POSSIBILITIES
• National Urban Renewal Mission for 70 cities:
recent experience of “unprecedented” extreme
weather conditions in a few major metros and
megacities
• 100,000 Rural Knowledge Centres
( IT Kiosks): Need for Spatial e-Governance for
informed decision making in disaster-prone areas:
before, during and after disasters
