The document summarizes several common myths about disasters and contrasts them with realities based on research. Some key myths addressed include that disasters cause chaos, panic is common, the poor are not more at risk, and aid benefits donors rather than recipients. The realities presented indicate that most people respond rationally in disasters, social solidarity increases, the risks are often human-made, and aid can be exploited. Overall, the document aims to dispel misconceptions about disaster response and highlight what research shows about human behavior in such crises.

Case Study on Uttarkhand Disaster(Organising)Roshan Shanbhag
Â
The main topic was Organising.
And our group used the Disaster Management as a sub-topic (Uttarakhand Disaster which happened in 2013 in India) and we analysed all the parts.
It includes :
Introduction of Uttarakhand,
Before Disaster.
After disaster,
Reasons for disaster,
Disaster management,
PEST analysis,
Suggestions and recommendation.
This power point presentation gives a brief outlook about the need of Disaster Risk Management and its Structure in India. Further, it highlights issues, challenges and suggestions regarding September, 2014 Floods in Kashmir Valley.
Man made disasters are hazards caused by human action or inaction. They are contrasted with natural hazards. Man made disasters may adversely affect humans, other organisms and ecosystems. The frequency and severity of hazards are key elements in some risk analysis methodologies.
Snow Avalanche and its Impacts, Prevention and Challengesijsrd.com
Â
Snow avalanche are a significant hazard in mountainous environments around the world. Snow avalanches pose a significant hazard to human populations and infrastructure in mountainous regions. Avalanche forecasting and hazard reduction methods rely heavily on the evaluation of snowpack information collected in the field. Hence understanding the spatial patterns of snowpack instabilities and their environment determinants is crucial. Avalanche impacts in India, include fatilities, and are summarize for public and residential area like ski areas, roads, and resource industries. Avalanche hazard methods, in which zoning, explosive control, forecasting. Problems of current avalanche hazard is solving these problem is identified with resources industries, backcountry recreation and residential areas. Snow avalanches are a significant natural hazard that impact roads, structures and threaten human lives in mountain terrain. Snow avalanche is not only the snow cover over the mountain side but also the later snowfall intensity. In this case study, we quantify the spatial patterns of the thickness and strength of an observed buried surface hoar layer and test for associations with spatial estimates of incoming radiation during the surface hoar formation period. In India, is attempt using terrain and satellite images and terrain characteristics with meteorology information. Contributory factors in retaining the snowfall a change and snow pack characteristics were rank and assign weightage the avalanche initiate based on the event in the region. Spatial distribution of snow accumulation zone, Snow fall area and snow pack stability assessment criteria was developed. Snowfall, temperature and wind are three factors that quickly change avalanche conditions.

The harsh reality of disaster
8. Disasters open up a window on the world
...and the result is sobering, but highly instructive
11. Myth: Natural disasters are an
inevitable result of Mother
Nature's fury.
Reality: Disaster is almost always the
result of people and communities
putting themselves at risk.
There is nothing very natural
or inevitable about that.
12. Myth: Earthquake magnitude is
measured on the Richter scale.
Reality: 'Local magnitude' ML, Charles F.
Richter's scale, is inaccurate at
high values and so has been
replaced by body wave magnitude,
moment magnitude and other
more robust scales.
13. Myth: The behaviour of animals
can predict earthquakes.
Reality: It tends to be erratic.
We do not properly
understand animal
psychology.
14. Myth: Tsunamis are tidal waves.
Reality: Tsunamis are seismic, volcanic
or landslide-induced sea waves
with a completely different form
and mode of propagation to bores
or other waves caused by tides.
15.
16. Myth: Disasters cause a great deal
of chaos and cannot possibly
be managed systematically.
Reality: There are excellent theoretical
models of how disasters function
and how to manage them.
17. Myth: Disasters kill people without
respect for social class or
economic status.
Reality: The poor and marginalised
are much more at risk of
death than are rich people
or the middle classes.
Collapsed sports hall, and an occupied house
18. Myth: Significant numbers of people
survive for many days when
trapped under the rubble of
collapsed buildings.
Reality: The vast majority of people
brought out alive from the
rubble are saved within 24,
or perhaps even 12, hours
of the impact.
19. Myth: When disaster strikes
panic is a common reaction.
Reality: Most people behave rationally
in disaster. While panic is not
to be ruled out entirely, it is
of such limited importance that
some leading disaster sociologists
regard it as insignificant or
unlikely.
20. Myth: People will flee in large
numbers from a disaster area.
Reality: Usually there is a
"convergence reaction" and
the area fills up with people.
21. Myth: After disaster has struck
survivors tend to be dazed
and apathetic.
Reality: Survivors rapidly get to work on
the clear-up. Activism is much
more common than fatalism (this
is the so-called "therapeutic
community"). In the worst
possible cases only 15-30% of
victims show passive and dazed
reactions.
22. Myth: Usually after disaster, the
first assistance is provided
by the emergency services.
Reality: It tends to be the people who
are there at the time: local
residents, family, neighbours.
23. Myth: After disaster people will not
make rational decisions and will
therefore inevitably tend to do
the wrong thing unless authority
guides them.
Reality: People make decisions on the
basis of the information that they
are able to obtain and their ability
to interpret it. Most decision-
making can be judged rational.
24. Myth: Disasters usually give rise to
widespread, spontaneous manifest-
ations of antisocial behaviour.
Reality: Generally, they are characterized
by great social solidarity,
generosity and self-sacrifice.
25. Myth: Looting is a common and serious
problem after disasters.
Reality: The phenomenon of looting is
rare and limited in scope.
Looted jeweller's shop,
Piazza del Duomo, L'Aquila, 2009
26. Myth: In disaster, people resort to
violence to protect their own
interests.
Reality: The 'therapeutic community' is
common: people have a greater
tendency to help each other
than in normal times.
27. Myth: Unburied dead bodies
constitute a health hazard.
Reality: Not even advanced
decomposition causes a
significant health hazard.
28. Myth: Disease epidemics are an
almost inevitable result of
the disruption and poor health
caused by major disasters.
Reality: Generally, the level of
epidemiological surveillance and
health care in the disaster area
is sufficient to stop any possible
disease epidemic from occurring.
29. Myth: Dead bodies, survivors, streets,
rubble and other things should
be sprayed with disinfectant to
stop the spread of disease.
Reality: This common and popular measure
wastes large quantities of
disinfectant and does nothing
whatsoever for public health.
30. Myth: One should donate used clothes
to the victims of disasters.
Reality: This often leads to accumulations
of huge quantities of useless
garments that victims cannot
or will not wear.
31. Myth: Companies, corporations,
associations and governments
are always very generous when
invited to send aid and relief
to disaster areas.
Reality: Disaster areas have been used
as dumping grounds for outdated
medicines, obsolete equipment,
and unsaleable goods, all under
the cloak of apparent generosity.
32. Myth: Donations in kind are safer
and better than cash grants.
Reality: Although there is a risk that
cash grants may end up in the
pockets of corrupt administrators
or local mafias, cash is generally
more flexible than donations in kind.
33. Myth: Aid always benefits the
recipients, not the donors.
Reality: Goods and services imported
into a country with foreign
funding tend to benefit the
manufacturers and suppliers.
34. Myth: Technology will save the
world from disaster.
Reality:
The problem of disasters
is largely a social one.
35.
36. Myth: Knowledge alone leads to action.
Reality: Producing the means to reduce
disaster risk (e.g. a warning system,
a hazard map) does not mean
that it will necessarily be used.
37. Myth: Disasters always
happen to someone else.
Reality:
The 'syndrome of personal
invulnerability' tends to mislead
people into believing that they
are in some way immune from
disasters. It is not so.
