DISASTER MANAGEMENT
The World is always
changing. disasters are
changes which are so
great they may cause
damage to the shape of
the land or to the lives of people and other
living things. Great changes happen deep inside
the Earth and on its surface. The changes on the
outer part of the Earth happen because of
different kinds of weather.

 Disaster- dis·as·ter (noun) A Calamity or
Disaster, as you know, is an Unfortunate
happening ;
 A catastrophe.
 A grave misfortune.
 A total failure .
 A serious disruption of the functioning of
a community or a society causing
widespread human, material, economic,
or environmental losses which exceed
the ability of the affected community or
society to cope using its own resources.

“NATURAL
DISASTERS”
VOLCANIC ERUPTION :
A volcanic eruption is the
spurting out of gases
and hot lava from an
opening in the Earth’s
crust.
EARTHQUAKE :
An earthquake is a
violent shaking of the
ground. Sometimes it is
so strong that the
ground splits apart.
When parts of the
earth, called plates,
move against each
other giant shock
waves move upwards
towards the surface
causing the
earthquake.
CYCLONE OR HURRICANE :
A Cyclone is a fierce
storm with storm winds
that spin around it in a
giant circle. During a
cyclone trees can be
uprooted, buildings can
be destroyed and cars
can be overturned.
FLOOD :
A flood is caused by an
overflow of water which
covers the land that is
usually dry. Floods are
caused by heavy rain
or by snow melting and
the rivers burst their
banks and overflow.
AVALANCHE :
An Avalanche is a
movement of snow, ice
and rock down a
mountainside.
Avalanches can be
caused by – snow
melting quickly snow
freezing, melting then
freezing again
someone skiing a loud
noise or an earth
tremor
DROUGHT :
A drought is the lack of
rain for a long time.
In 1968 a drought began
in Africa.
Children born during this
year were five years
old before rain fell
again.
FOREST FIRE OR BUSHFIRE :
Fires can burn out of
control in areas of
forest or bush land.
Fires are caused by
lightning, sparks of
electricity or careless
people.
Wind may blow a
bushfire to areas where
people live.
LANDSLIDES :
Landslip is a geological
phenomenon which includes a
wide range of ground
movement, such as rock falls,
deep failure of slopes and
shallow debris flows.
TSUNAMIS :
Tsunami is a fault
movement on sea floor,
accompanied by an
earth quake. A land
slide occurring under
water or above the sea,
and then plunging in to
the water.
SNOW STORMS :
Snowstorms are storms
where large amounts of
snow fall. It may occur
in the late autumn and
early spring as well.
Very rarely, they may
form in summer.
EPIDEMIC DISEASE :
 Epidemic Disease
Outbreaks of Disease
 A biological agents are
used in attacks
because they cause
the most illness and
death among humans,
they include: -
Anthrax,Botulism,Plaqu
e, Smallpox, Cholera,
and H1N1.
“HUMAN
INDUCED
DISASTERS”
FIRE:
Fire is the rapid
oxidation of a material
in the chemical process
of combustion,
releasing heat, light,
and various reaction
products.
INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS :
The terms “chemical accident”
refer to an event resulting in
the release of a substance or
substances hazardous to
human health and/or the
environment in the short or
long term. that can cause
people illness, injury,
disability or death.
BOMB BLAST :
Blast bomb is a term
used for a type of
improvised explosive
device which is using
to destroy mass people
in particular area as a
weapon.
ROAD ACCIDENTS :
Road accidents A traffic
collision (motor vehicle
collision, motor vehicle
accident, or car crash)
is when a road vehicle
collides with another
vehicle.

MANAGEMENT
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.
DISASTER MANAGEMENT :
 Disaster preparedness
 Disaster response
 Disaster mitigation
DISASTER PREPAREDNESS
.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
DISASTER RESPONSE
.
DISASTER RESPONSE
Disaster response is some
of total of action taken by
people or institution in the
face of disaster. these
action commence with the
warning of an oncoming
threatening event or with
the event itself if it occur
without warning.
DISASTER RESPONSE
Aims of Emergency:
 To ensure the survival of the maximum
possible number of victims.
 To re establish self sufficiency and essential
services as quickly as possible for all
population groups.
 To repair and replace damaged infra structure
and regenerate viable economic activities.
WARNING SYSTEM
.
INDIA’S RESPONSE TO DISASTER
Central GOVT response to the disaster depends upon:
 The gravity of natural calamity,
 The scale of relief operation necessary
 The requirement of central assistance and financial
support
Types of central response:
1. Policy response
2. Administrative response
