10. DISASTER MANAGEMENT
 What is Disaster?
 A disaster is a serious
disruption of the functioning
of a community or a society
involving widespread human,
material, economic or
environmental losses and
impacts, which exceeds the
ability of the affected
community or society to cope
using its own resources.

11. DISASTER MANAGEMENT
 What is Disaster Management?
 Disaster management (or emergency management) is the
effort of communities or businesses to PLAN and
ORGANIZE for and coordinate all personnel and
materials required to either mitigate the effects of, or
recover from, natural or man-made disasters, or acts of
terrorism.

12. DISASTER MANAGEMENT
 Need for Disaster preparedness :-
 It is important for local governments
and jurisdictions to implement
planning and mitigation measures
before a disaster or emergency
occurs, many of these measures
should also be implemented
proactively by local communities or
neighborhood organizations or by
individual owners of historic
properties.

POLITICAL
State’s Contingency plan was missing
Political Instability
Lack of effective implementation of environmental laws
Too much political intervention during the time of rescue
operations
No pro-active stance to reduce the toll of disaster.
ECONOMIC
Poor electricity supply due to brown-outs and black-outs
Industrial growth in the area
Impact of globalisation
SOCIAL
Growth in population
Lack of community based disaster preparedness
Low environmental awareness among overall population,
domestic tourists, resort owners and developers
Lack of understanding and application of ecotourism
principles
Ethnic/religious factors
TECHNOLOGICAL
High number of hydroelectric dams in the area
Various National Disaster Agencies have failed to put in
place basic systems of warning, forecasting, monitoring and
information dissemination
Poor/No Backup telecommunications system during disaster
Lack of New inventions and development for the hilly
regions
Lack of all-weather and all-time comprehensive space-based
disaster mitigation system

14. SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
 Organizing Disaster management:-
 Be prepared
 Get trained
 Identify, evaluate and document resources
 Register qualified resources
 Prepare emergency preservation and recovery plans

15. SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
 Protecting the environment
can only be the way to reduce
the risk of such disasters
 Putting cap on number of
tourists may be a solution,
which reduces the
construction of hotels,
expansion of roads.
 Keeping a check on illegal
constructions and on
deforestation.

16. SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
 Using latest equipment
to predict the probability
of rains
 Alerting and transferring
people to safe zones at
proper time.
 Training the people on
how to take basic safety
measures.
