Disaster management, which is also known as emergency management,
can be defined as dealing with and avoiding both natural and man
made disasters. Disaster management involves preparedness before
disaster, rebuilding and supporting society after natural disasters such
as, earthquakes, drought, tsunami etc.
11. •Medicines for snake bites and diarrhoea
should be kept at stock.
•Listen to radio or keep in touch with
television for warning and advises
12. •Adequate stock of fresh water, dry food articles, salt,
sugar and kerosene should be kept handy.
•In case of floods, power should be turned-off and all
electrical appliances should be disconnected.
•Only boiled water should be consumed and only
freshly cook food should be eaten.

16. An earthquake is a
violent movement
of the rocks in
the Earth's crust.
Earthquakes are
usually quite brief,
but may repeat
over a long period
of time. They are
the result of a
sudden release of
energy in
the Earth's crust
22. Cover the back of
your head and your
eyes to minimize injury
from flying debris.
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,

24. Very large wave or series of waves
caused when something such as an
earthquake
moves a large quantity
of water in the sea.
“Waves move faster
than humans can run”
29. Signs Of An Approaching Tsunami
•Often no Advance
warning of an
approaching
tsunami.
•A earthquake felt
near body of water
may be considered
an indication that a
tsunami will
shortly follow.
30.
31. Precautions
•WARNING: A tsunami was or may have been generated, which could cause
damage; therefore, people in the warned area are strongly advised to
evacuate.
•WATCH: A tsunami was or may have been generated, but is at least two
hours travel time to the area in watch status. Local officials should prepare
for possible evacuation if their area is upgraded to a warning.
•ADVISORY: An earthquake has occurred in the Pacific basin, which might
generate a tsunami. WC/ATWC and PTWC will issue hourly bulletins advising
of the situation.
•INFORMATION: A message with information about an earthquake that is not
expected to generate a tsunami. Usually only one bulletin is issued.
•Be familiar with the tsunami warning signs. A strong earthquake lasting 20
seconds or more near the coast may generate a tsunami. A noticeable rapid
rise or fall in coastal waters is also a sign that a tsunami is approaching.
Tsunamis most frequently come onshore as a rapidly rising turbulent surge of
water choked with debris.

33. A cloud burst is an extreme amount of precipitation, sometimes
with hail and thunder, which normally lasts no longer than a few
minutes but is capable of creating flood conditions
34. During the thunderstorms, the air mass
that goes up from the lower level carries
a certain amount of water in it.
Sometimes that air current abruptly
stops moving and the water mass falls
down forcefully on the surface of earth.
This natural phenomenon is known as
cloudburst.
35. In the Indian subcontinent, a cloudburst usually
occurs when a pregnant monsoon cloud drifts
northwards, from the Bay of Bengal or Arabian
Sea across the plains, then onto the Himalaya and
bursts, bringing rainfall as high as 75 millimeters per
hour.
36.
37.
38. Drought is either absence or
deficiency of rainfall from its
normal pattern in a region for an
extended period of time leading to
general suffering in the society .
39. Drought occurs when not enough rain falls to the ground.
However, water vapor condenses only if air rises into the colder
regions of the atmosphere. If the air doesn’t rise, then no rain will
form.
43. A natural opening in the earth's crust where gasses
and magma can escape
44. Temperatures inside the earth are very
high – over 5000’C in the core. This
means that the planet on which we live is
like a huge fiery ball of hot molten rock,
surrounded by a few kilometers of
relatively cool, hard rock – the crust.
Because heat rises, the magma in the
earth’s mantle has to find a way to rise
upwards though the crust above it,
rather like the way that hot air rises
45. In India Deccan
Pleatue Has
Biggest Volcano
And it is prone
to volcano
eruption
46. Don’t Drive When there is
Eruption
Avaibility of Food
Reach the safe location
47.
48. A forest fire is a natural disaster consisting of a fire
which destroys a forested area, and can be a great
danger to people who live in forests as well as wildlife.
