This document provides information about disaster management including definitions of disasters, what disaster management involves, types of disasters, factors affecting disasters, and the phases of disaster management. It defines disasters as events that cause damage and loss of life on a large scale. Disaster management deals with preparedness, response, and rehabilitation for both natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, and cyclones as well as man-made disasters. The phases of disaster management include preparedness before a disaster, response during a disaster, and rehabilitation after a disaster. Major factors that influence disasters are their predictability, speed of onset, and duration and scope of impacts.
This document defines and provides examples of different types of natural and man-made disasters. It discusses natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, droughts and tornadoes. It also covers man-made disasters and technological hazards like industrial accidents, fires and oil spills. The document emphasizes that while hazards may occur naturally, it is the vulnerability of human settlements and lack of emergency management that turns these events into disasters that cause loss of life and property damage. Developing nations are often the most impacted due to greater exposure and fewer resources to build resilience against disasters.
Desertification is the process by which productive land is turned into desert. It is caused by both climate factors like drought as well as human activities. Prolonged drought since 1968 caused trees and grass to die, leaving the topsoil exposed. This led to increased wind and water erosion of soils. Overgrazing and over-cultivation to increase food production also degraded soils. The loss of vegetation and increased erosion exacerbated desertification. As the process continued, it caused food shortages, malnutrition, disease and migration to cities among affected populations. Solutions proposed to address desertification include controlling population growth, improving farming and grazing methods, enacting legislation to restrict activities causing degradation, and implementing reforestation and water management

The document discusses the geographical location and weather patterns of the United States. It notes that the US is bordered by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans as well as Canada and Mexico. Major storm systems that impact the US include winter storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, and thunderstorms. These storms derive energy from clashes between air masses or warm ocean waters. States bordering the Atlantic Ocean are most at risk from hurricanes, which have increased in intensity due to human-caused climate change raising ocean temperatures.
Natural disasters are events caused by natural hazards like floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, etc. that lead to damage and losses. The impact of a natural hazard depends on the vulnerability of the affected population - their ability to resist the hazard. While hazards exist naturally, it is human settlement and involvement that transforms them into disasters. Several types of natural hazards are described in detail, including earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, volcanoes, floods, and thunderstorms. Common causes and effects of each hazard are summarized.
Disaster management involves preparing for, responding to, and recovering from disasters. The main goal is to minimize losses during a disaster through organized and efficient response. This involves understanding potential hazards, establishing early warning systems, coordinating response teams and resources, and securing critical utilities. Conducting mock drills helps improve preparedness by clarifying roles and testing response procedures.

The document defines and describes several natural disasters including earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, typhoons, avalanches, thunderstorms, and landslides. Earthquakes occur along fault lines when tectonic plates release stress, tsunamis are large waves caused by underwater disturbances, and hurricanes are tropical storms over 74 mph that typically occur in summer and autumn in the Atlantic.
This document discusses different types of man-made disasters including nuclear, biological, chemical, fire, travel, terrorism, and epidemic disasters. It provides examples of each type and precautions people can take to protect themselves, such as covering food and water after a nuclear event, immediately leaving suspicious objects in a biological event, and informing authorities about any suspicious groups in a terrorism event.
1) Man-made disasters are caused by identifiable human actions such as negligence or deliberate acts. They can result from industrial accidents, chemical/biological/radiological incidents, or other human factors like ignorance or carelessness.
2) Some examples of common man-made disasters mentioned are oil and chemical spills, power outages, terrorist attacks, and industrial fires and explosions. Specific incidents highlighted include the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident and Bhopal chemical disaster.
3) Precautions that can help mitigate man-made disasters include using protective equipment in chemical/radiological incidents, properly maintaining infrastructure to prevent industrial accidents, and increasing awareness to discourage negligence. Historical disasters like London's Killer Fog are
A disaster is a serious disruption, occurring over a relatively short time, of the functioning of a community or a society involving widespread human, material, economic or environmental loss and impacts, which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources.
The document discusses different types of disasters, including natural disasters caused by geological, hydrological, climatological, meteorological, biological, and space events; human-made or technological disasters resulting from environmental degradation, pollution, terrorism, and accidents; and complex emergencies involving food insecurity, epidemics and pandemics, and displaced populations impacted by multiple disasters. Natural disasters are broadly classified according to their origin or cause, while human-made disasters typically involve human activity or negligence and can exacerbate the impacts of natural disasters. Complex emergencies incorporate elements of both natural and human-made disasters that overwhelm local capabilities.
Cyclones are areas of closed, circular fluid motion rotating in the same direction as the Earth. They are known by different names depending on their location. There are three main types of cyclones: tropical cyclones, polar cyclones, and mesocyclones. Cyclones derive their names through a systematic procedure. They form due to differences in air pressure and temperature. The primary hazards of cyclones are strong winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surge, which can cause flooding and other impacts. Mitigation efforts include securing property, listening for warnings, and evacuating if instructed.
Introduction to natural hazard and disaster management Jahangir Alam
The document discusses natural hazards and disasters. It notes that the Earth experiences approximately 2,000 earth tremors and 2 earthquakes strong enough to cause damage daily. There are also around 1,800 active thunderstorms globally at any given time and 4-5 tornadoes per day. The document provides definitions of key terms like hazards, disasters, risk, and vulnerability. It explains that disasters occur at the intersection of hazards, vulnerability, and insufficient risk reduction measures. Disaster risk management aims to reduce risks through prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery and rehabilitation efforts.

It then outlines the phases of disaster management - pre-impact, impact, and post-impact phases. Key aspects of disaster management discussed include prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, relief, recovery, and reconstruction. Historical perspectives on disaster management in India and details of the national structure for disaster management are also provided.
Wildfires can cause significant ecological and economic damage. They begin as confined or contained fires but can spread and burn out of control, threatening lives and property. The causes of wildfires include lightning, human negligence, and spontaneous combustion. Factors like fuel availability, weather, and topography determine a wildfire's size, duration, and intensity. Firefighters work to reduce heat, oxygen, or fuel available to wildfires using techniques like controlled burns, firebreaks, and water/chemical drops from aircraft.
A disaster is defined as a sudden event that causes damage exceeding a community's ability to cope. Though often natural, disasters can be human-caused. Man-made disasters result from human intent, negligence or error, and include nuclear accidents, chemical spills, radiological emergencies, and acts of terrorism. Examples of man-made disasters include the London smog, Al-Mishraq fire, Chernobyl explosion, Kuwait oil fires, and destruction of the Aral Sea. Disasters have significant negative effects such as loss of life and property, threats to wildlife, ruined farmland, health issues, and more.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

53. PRINCIPLES OF DISASTERPRINCIPLES OF DISASTER
MANAGEMENTMANAGEMENT
• Disaster management is the responsibility of all
spheres of government
• Disaster management should use resources that
exist for a day-to-day purpose.
• Organizations should function as an extension of
their core business
• Individuals are responsible for their own safety.
• Disaster management planning should focus on
large-scale events.
55. DISASTER PREPAREDNESSDISASTER PREPAREDNESS
Preparedness should be in the form of money,
manpower and materials
• Evaluation from past experiences about risk
• Location of disaster prone areas
• Organization of communication, information and
warning system
• Ensuring co-ordination and response mechanisms
56. CONTD….CONTD….
• Development of public education programme
• Co-ordination with media
• National & international relations
• Keeping stock of foods, drug and other
essential commodities.
57. E.g.: Indian Meteorological department (IMD) plays a key
role in forewarning the disaster of cyclone-storms by detection tracing. It
has 5 centres in Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, Vishakhapatnam, Chennai &
Mumbai. In addition there are 31 special observation posts setup a long the
east coast of India.
The International Agencies which provides humanitarian assistance to the
disaster strike areas are United Nation agencies.
Office for the co-ordination of Humanitarian Affair (OCHA)
World Health Organization (WHO)
UNICEF
World Food Programme (WFP)
Food & Agricultural Organisation (FAD)
E.g.: Non Governmental Organizations
• Co-Operative American Relief Every where (CARE)
• International committee of Red cross
• International committee of Red cross
60. DISASTER MITIGATIONDISASTER MITIGATION
• This involves lessening the likely effects of emergencies.
• These include depending upon the disaster, protection of vulnerable
population and structure.
Eg. improving structural qualities of schools, houses and such other
buildings so that medical causalities can be minimized.
• Similarly ensuring the safety of health facilities and public health
services including water supply and sewerage system to reduce the cost
of rehabilitation and reconstruction.
This mitigation compliments the disaster preparedness and disaster
response activities.
62. DISASTER RECOVERYDISASTER RECOVERY
• Successful Recovery Preparation
• Be vigilant in Health teaching
• Psychological support
• Referrals to hospital as needed
• Remain alert for environmental health
• Nurse must be attentive to the danger
63. MAJOR DISASTERS IN INDIA
1984 Bhopal Gas Tragedy
2001 Gujarat earthquake

been set up as the apex body for Disaster Management in
India, with the Prime Minister as its Chairman.
• Disaster Management Authorities will be set up at the State
and District Levels to be headed by the Chief Ministers and
Collectors/Zilla Parishad Chairmen respectively.
69. NEW DIRECTIONS FOR DISASTER
MANAGEMENT IN INDIA
• A National Disaster Mitigation Fund will be administered by NDMA.
States and districts will administer mitigation funds.
• A National Disaster Response Fund will be administered by NDMA
through the National Executive Committee. States and Districts will
administer state Disaster Response Fund and Disaster Response Fund
respectively.
• 8 Battalions of National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) are being
trained and deployed with CSSR and MFR equipments and tools in eight
strategic locations.
• A National Disaster Management Policy and National Disaster Response
Plan will also be drawn up.
70. LESSONS LEARNT
Be Prepared : Preparedness and Mitigation is bound
to yield more effective returns than distributing
relief after a disaster.
Create a Culture of Preparedness and Prevention.
Evolve a code of conduct for all stake-holders
71.
72. FUTURE DIRECTIONS
• Encourage and consolidate knowledge networks
• Mobilize and train disaster volunteers for more
effective preparedness, mitigation and response
(NSS, NCC, Scouts and Guides, NYK, Civil
Defense, Home guards )
• Increased capacity building leads to faster
vulnerability reduction.
• Learn from best practices in disaster
preparedness, mitigation and disaster response
73. FUTURE DIRECTIONS

Management
74. INVEST IN PREPAREDNESS
• Investments in Preparedness and Prevention
(Mitigation) will yield sustainable results, rather than
spending money on relief after a disaster.
• Most disasters are predictable, especially in their
seasonality and the disaster-prone areas which are
vulnerable.
• Communities must be involved in disaster
preparedness.
75. NEW POSSIBILITIES
• National Urban Renewal Mission for 70 cities:
recent experience of “unprecedented” extreme
weather conditions in a few major metros and
megacities
• 100,000 Rural Knowledge Centres
( IT Kiosks): Need for Spatial e-Governance for
informed decision making in disaster-prone areas:
before, during and after disasters
