This document discusses advanced disaster management systems. It outlines different types of natural and man-made disasters and weaknesses in current disaster management. It then describes the disaster management cycle and key aspects of the planning and implementation process, including preparedness, mitigation, relief activities, and recovery. New technological developments for disaster detection and response are also presented, along with calls for better education, training, equipment, and funding to improve disaster management.

2. INTRODUCTION
 Disaster is a serious disruption of the
functioning of a community or a society.
 Disasters involve widespread human,
material, economic or environmental impacts,
which exceed the ability of the affected
community or society to cope using its own
resource

3. TYPES OF DISASTERS
 Natural disasters
Flood Earthquake Landslides
T-sunami Fire Cyclone

4. TYPES OF DISASTERS
 Man-made disaster: Nuclear disaster,
chemical disaster and biological disaster
 Industrial accidents
 Attacking the critical places during war
 Spread of Disaster
Nuclear disaster
Biological disaster

5. WEAKNESS IN DISASTER MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM
 Inadequate Early Warning System
 Lack of Pre-disaster Preparedness
 Inadequate and Slow Relief
 Lack of Co-ordination
 Slow Rehabilitation and Reconstruction
 Poor Management of Finances for Post-disaster
Relief
 Symbolism Rather than Relief
 No Instruction for Pre-seismic Period

6. DISASTER MANAGEMENT:
 It is the organization and management of
resources and responsibilities
 Response and recovery in order to lessen the
impact of disasters.
 Events covered by disaster management include
acts of terrorism, industrial sabotage, fire, natural
disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes,
etc., public disorder, industrial accidents, and
communication failures.

7. DISASTER MANAGEMENT CYCLE

8. DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLANNING
 Recognition or identification of risks
 Ranking or evaluation of risks
 Responding to significant risks
 Tolerate
 Treat
 Transfer
 Terminate
 Resourcing controls
 Reaction Planning
 Reporting & monitoring risk performance
 Reviewing the Risk Management framework

9. IMPLEMENTATION
 An emergency plan must be regularly maintained,
in a structured and methodical manner, to ensure it
is up-to-date in the event of an emergency
 The following are the systematic approach
◦ Pre-incident training and testing
◦ Communicating and incident assessment
◦ Disaster prevention
◦ Mitigation
◦ Disaster preparedness
◦ Local Emergency Planning Committees
◦ Preparedness measures
◦ Relief activities
◦ Disaster recovery

10. Pre-incident training and testing
 The identification of appropriately trained staff
members responsible for decision-making
when an emergency occurs
 Testing of a plan's effectiveness should occur
regularly

11. COMMUNICATING AND INCIDENT
ASSESSMENT
 Communication is one of the key issues during
any emergency, pre-planning of communications
is critical
 Once an emergency has been identified a
comprehensive assessment evaluating the level
of impact and its financial implications should be
undertaken

12. DISASTER PREVENTION:
 Activities designed to provide permanent protection from
disasters
 The risk of loss of life and injury can be mitigated with
good evacuation plans, environmental planning and
design standards
MITIGATION:
 Personal mitigation is a key to national preparedness.
Individuals and families not to travel in train to avoid
unnecessary risks.
 Steps taken to minimize the effects of a disaster, or
procure insurance to protect them against effects of a

13. DISASTER PREPAREDNESS
 These activities are designed to
minimize loss of life and damage
 Preparedness is the main way of
reducing the impact of disasters

14. LOCAL EMERGENCY PLANNING
COMMITTEES
 Identification of facilities and transportation –
hazardous area
 Emergency response procedures -on and off site
 Outline of emergency notification procedures
 To determine the probable affected area and
population by releases
 Local emergency equipment and facilities and the
persons responsible
 Outline of evacuation plans
 A training program for emergency responders
 Methods and schedules for exercising emergency
response plans

15. PREPAREDNESS MEASURES
 Preparedness measures can take many forms ranging from
focusing on individual people, locations or incidents to
broader, government-based "all hazard" planning:
Class room response kit Kitchen fire extinguisher
Items on shelves in basement Non-perishable food in cabinet

16. RELIEF ACTIVITIES:
 Relief activities include rescue, relocation, providing
food and water, preventing disease and disability
 Repairing vital services such as telecommunications
and transport, providing temporary shelter and
emergency health care.
DISASTER RECOVERY
 Recovery activities include rebuilding infrastructure,
health care and rehabilitation.
 Building human resources for health and developing
policies and practices to avoid similar situations in

17. DEVELOPMENT OF RESPONSE
SYSTEM
 Preparation of Special Response
Teams
 Incident Command System
 Standard Operating Procedure
 Trigger Mechanism
 Emergency Operation Centre

18. TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS
 Technological innovations are vital for effective
disaster management is taking several measure to
upgrade technological inputs.
 The important developments include:
Disaster Resource Network:
Development of GIS based Data base
Installation of Early Warning and Hazard
Detection Equipment

19. DISASTER RESOURCE NETWORK
 This is a web enabled centralized data base
which will ensure quick access to resources
to minimize response time tune in
emergencies

20. DEVELOPMENT OF GIS BASED DATA
BASE FOR DISASTER MANAGEMENT
 The GIS is an effective tool for emergency
responders to access information in terms of
crucial parameters for the disaster affected areas

21. INSTALLATION OF EARLY WARNING AND
HAZARD DETECTION EQUIPMENT
 Early warning systems have already been
installed for cyclones and floods in the country
 A well established organizational set up for
detecting, tackling and forecasting cyclones.
 Cyclone tracking is done with the help of
satellites.
 Cyclone detection radars are located at ten
centres indifferent coastal areas.
 Now acquiring and installing the Tsunami

22. HAZARD DETECTION EQUIPMENT
Earthquake detector
Cyclone detector
T-sunami warning system

23. CONCLUSION
 Disaster not attended properly it causes severe
damage
 Disaster management department should be
established
 Properly educate the people about the different forms
of disaster and creating awareness
 Disaster management team must be given proper
training and equipped with latest equipments,.
 Government should allocate sufficient funds
