This document discusses biological disasters and outlines measures for handling biological agents and planning for biological disasters. It defines a biological disaster as one caused by biological vectors that can cause illness, property damage, economic disruption or environmental damage. Examples include disease outbreaks. Agricultural workers may be exposed through contact with infected animals or waste. Measures for handling biological agents include risk assessment, protective equipment, immunization, and safety procedures. Planning must be done at national, state, district and non-governmental levels and include surveillance, identification of medical facilities, and long-term improvements to laboratories and establishment of toxicology centers.
role of social media.
Social media plays an important role in promoting community participation in disaster management. It allows for quick information dissemination during emergencies, helps with disaster planning and training through gamification, and enables collaborative problem solving. Social media facilitates on-the-scene reporting and disaster assessments to help coordinate emergency responses. While traditional media use is declining, social media usage is rising worldwide and can be incorporated into integrated disaster management platforms to give citizens a greater role in preparing for and managing crises.
Is india prepared for a natural disaster
The NDMA, India's apex body for disaster management, has said that India is not prepared to face natural disasters. The NDMA came to this conclusion after reviewing psycho-social support and mental health services in the country. Between 2000-2019, natural disasters in India killed over 143,000 people on average and affected over 49 million people annually, causing average economic damages of over $1.5 billion per year. While natural disasters cannot always be anticipated, preparing for them properly could help reduce their damage in India.
Basics of disaster risk management
Disaster risk management involves reducing risks through systematic efforts to analyze and manage hazards, exposure, vulnerability, and capacity. It includes preparedness, response, and recovery efforts to lessen disaster impacts. The document outlines key concepts in disaster risk management, including defining disasters and different types, phases of management from risk reduction to recovery, and principles such as using an integrated and collaborative approach. Disaster risk is a function of hazards and vulnerability moderated by capacity. Risk analysis should involve communities to identify priorities and reduce social exclusions.
Disaster management for developing countries
This presentation discusses disaster management for developing countries. It outlines the topics that will be covered, including the definition of disaster management, and the phases of disaster management - preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. Specific examples are provided for each phase. The presentation focuses on disaster management in Bangladesh, noting that it is one of the most disaster-prone countries and has undertaken plans and programs to reduce impacts through management. The conclusion emphasizes that developing countries suffer greatly from disasters and developed countries should help improve their management.
A Global Perspective on Disaster Management
Natural disasters pose increasing risks globally due to several trends over the 20th century: a 250% increase in recorded disasters, 500% more disasters with victims, and 1500% higher costs of disasters. This is driven by factors like population growth, urbanization, and climate change. Risk is a function of hazard and vulnerability, where vulnerability is influenced by social, economic, political and technological factors. Building resilience through disaster risk reduction strategies like preparedness, early warning systems, and adaptive governance can help manage these risks.

Vulnerable Population in Emergencies
Vulnerability is the degree to which a population, individual or organization is unable to anticipate, cope with, resist and recover from the impacts of disasters.
Environmental health in emergencies and disasters: a practical guide. (WHO, 2002)
Children, pregnant women, elderly people, malnourished people, and people who are ill or immune compromised, are particularly vulnerable when a disaster strikes, and take a relatively high share of the disease burden associated with emergencies. Poverty – and its common consequences such as malnutrition, homelessness, poor housing and destitution – is a major contributor to vulnerability.

Disaster management in_Pakistan (6)
Globally, the risks, vulnerabilities and impacts induced by natural hazards and disasters are on rise. Their economic costs and damage are widespread as seen in recent disasters such as the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir Earthquake, and Japan's 2011 tsunami. Many government agencies have utilized disaster management principals in an attempt to minimize the impact of disasters. Research has underscored that local level vulnerability assessment; disaster management and resilience are required to empower com-munities to cope with disasters.
Geographically Pakistan is situated in a region very much prone to natural hazards, particularly the northern part of the country. The area experiences natural hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, floods, glacial melting and soil erosion. Flooding from river overflows is the most common natural disaster in Pakistan. They are costly natural hazards due to damage to property and croplands.
Historically, disaster management in Pakistan was focused on the ‘Emergency Response Paradigm’ (ERP). Prior to 2005, the West Pakistan National Calamities Act of 1958 was the available legal remedy that regulated the maintenance and restoration of order in areas affected by calamities and relief against such calamities. An Emergency Relief Cell within the Cabinet Division has been serving since 1971 as an institutional disaster relief support at the national level
The United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) introduced the paradigm shift from a reactive to a proactive approach in the form of the Hyogo Framework of Action (2005-2015) signed by 168 countries including Pakistan. To fulfill the global obligations as well as cope with the challenges emerged in the aftermath of the October 2005 earthquake; the Government of Pakistan promulgated the National Disaster Management Ordinance in 2007 to introduce a comprehensive National Disaster Management System in the country. The Ordinance became the Act called the National Disaster Management Act in December 2010.
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) was subsequently established in 2007 in line with the Act, and serves as the implementing, coordinating and monitoring body for disaster risk management at the national level. NDMA in collaboration with national and international partners had been in the process of strengthening the DRM system in the country and has developed National Disaster Management Plan.
The structure of disaster and emergency management in Pakistan, centered on the National Disaster Management Commission (NMDC), was established immediately after the disastrous Kashmir Earthquake in 2005. The provincial government has the authority to form the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA). A District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) can be established by Provincial governments in the hazard prone areas on a priority basis.
Role of Media in crisis and Disaster situation
This document discusses the role of media in crisis and disaster situations. It begins by defining different types of crises, including natural disasters, man-made disasters, and social conflicts. It then discusses how the media should approach crisis coverage by being first, right, and credible with their reporting. The document also notes that the public expects the media to provide protective information and empower decision making during crises. Overall, the document argues that the media plays an important role in informing the public and saving lives during disaster events through timely and reliable information sharing.
Regional and International organizations in Disaster Management
Regional and international organizations play an important role in disaster management by providing humanitarian assistance. The United Nations and its agencies coordinate international relief efforts and provide support in areas like health, food security, shelter and protection. Other major organizations involved include the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, International Committee of the Red Cross, National Disaster Response Force in India, and World Organisation for Animal Health. These organizations work together and with local authorities to provide effective response during times of disaster.

CAPACITY BUILDING IN DISASTER MANAGEMENT
Capacity building in disaster management involves strengthening local skills, resources, and abilities. This includes educating communities about hazards and responses, training volunteers, collaborating with relief agencies, conducting mock drills, and understanding warning messages. Assessing needs, knowledge, and attitudes is important for effective training programs. Involving all stakeholders and mainstreaming disaster risk reduction also builds capacity. Capacity building connects disasters with development and relies on traditional knowledge and participation to improve well-being and ensure organizational success over time.
Part3 disaster-management-risk-mitigation
This document discusses community participation in disaster management. It defines participation as the active involvement of people in decisions that affect them. Participatory approaches are valuable as they allow communities to explain their priorities and vulnerabilities, build on local knowledge and expertise, strengthen communities, and accord with peoples' right to participate. There are two main approaches - guided participation where projects are initiated externally but involve communities, and people-centered participation which aims to empower communities and involve them in defining problems, solutions, implementation and evaluation. Operational issues with participation include the difficulty of managing the process while not undermining its purpose.
Emergency Public Health & Disaster Medicine
1. Emergency public health is a new field that takes a public health approach to large-scale emergencies and crises. It encompasses more than just disaster medicine by including epidemiology, rapid needs assessments, surveillance, and monitoring.
2. Emergency public health emergencies can be natural, industrial, infectious disease outbreaks, or acts of terrorism. They impact physical and mental health, security, housing, food and water. Recovery may take a long period of time.
3. Emergency public health involves multiple sectors including government, private organizations, NGOs, and citizens. Achieving public health security depends on increasing a population's resilience through surveillance, assessments, coordination, and communication.
