Disaster management involves dealing with and avoiding both natural and man-made disasters through preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation efforts. It aims to reduce vulnerabilities and impacts through organized and sustained actions to analyze and manage hazards and the underlying risks. Key aspects of disaster management include preparedness before a disaster through activities like risk assessment, warning systems, and stockpiling resources; immediate response efforts during an event; and long-term rehabilitation and reconstruction work after an event to support regrowth. Effective disaster management requires coordination and planning across different levels of government, organizations, and communities.

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.
Mitigating transportation risks at humanitarian supply chains: insights from ...Hossein Baharmand
Humanitarian relief organizations struggle with many uncertainties and risks during the response. Through this paper, field-driven insights will be used to discuss how practitioners currently mitigate such risks in relief transportation. The qualitative analysis of collected data after the 2015 Nepal earthquake reveals some of the most important transportation risks that threatened relief operations in response: delivery delays; loss of cargo; insufficient capacity; cargo decay; market fluctuations; unreliable information; and ethical concerns. Research findings explain that using logistics service providers has helped in mitigating transportation risks and improved the overall performance of humanitarian supply chain in Nepal response.
A collaborative effort between the Asia Pacific Civil-Military Centre of Excellence (APCMCOE) and the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID). This collaboration reflects the strong partnership between the two organisations and our collective commitment to the promotion of best practice in disaster management.
The report offers us unique insights through the lens of the Australian NGO community into the challenges, opportunities and ways forward for multi-agency cooperation in disaster management. It reflects on what is currently perceived of as good practice and offers ways forward to enhance multi-agency cooperation in the future.
Disaster Management can be defined as the organization and management of resources and responsibilities for dealing with all humanitarian aspects of emergencies, in particular preparedness, response and recovery in order to lessen the impact of disasters
The Learner is introduced to the following terms in this unit.
Hazard * Vulnerability *Risk * Disasters *Disaster management
* Early Warning System * Preparedness * Response * Relief

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. What is disaster management
???
“A disaster can be defined as any occurrence
that cause damage, ecological disruption, loss of
human life, deterioration of health and health
services on a scale, sufficient to warrant an
extraordinary response from outside the affected
community or area”.
(W.H.O.)
“A disaster can be defined as an occurrence
either nature or manmade that causes human
suffering and creates human needs that victims
cannot alleviate without assistance”.
American Red Cross (ARC) ’
4. What it involves ??
Dealing with and avoiding both natural
and man made disasters.
Preparedness before disaster.
Rebuilding and supporting society after
natural disasters.
5. BACKGROUND
Enormous population pressures and
urbanization
A flood, a drought or an earthquake millions
of peoples are affected each time a disaster
occurs
Large-scale displacement and the loss of
life, loss of property and agricultural crops
6. BACKGROUND
The reasons for this are varied including:
an increasing population pressures in urban
areas
an increase in the extent of encroachment
into lands, e.g., river beds or drainage
courses, low lying areas etc.
poor or ignored zoning laws and policies
lack of proper risk management (insurance)
7. TYPES OF DISASTER

8. FACTORS AFFECTING DISASTER
• Age
• Immunization status
Host factors • Degree of mobility
• Emotional stability
• Physical Factors
• Chemical Factors
Environmental • Biological Factors
factors • Social Factors
• Psychological Factors
9. CHARACTERISTIC OF DISASTER
Predictability
Controllability
Speed of onset
Length of
forewarning
Duration of impact
Scope and intensity
of impact
12. PRINCIPLES OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT
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.
13. Contd….
DM planning should recognize the difference
between incidents and disasters.
DM planning must take account of the type of
physical environment and the structure of the
population.
DM arrangements must recognise the involvement
and potential role of non- government agencies.
15. Disaster 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
16. Contd….
Development of public education
programme
Co-ordination with media
National & international relations
Keeping stock of foods, drug and other
essential commodities.
17. 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, Vishakapatanam, 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
21. Disaster 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.
22. DISASTER-EFFECTS
Deaths
Disability
Increase in communicable disease
Psychological problems
Food shortage
Socioeconomic losses
Shortage of drugs and medical supplies.
Environmental disruption
23. DISASTER 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
24. Major Disasters in India
1984 Bhopal Gas Tragedy
2001 Gujarat earthquake
2004 Indian Ocean tsunami
2008 Mumbai attacks
25. India’s Vulnerability to Disasters
57% land is vulnerable to earthquakes. Of
these, 12% is vulnerable to severe earthquakes.
68% land is vulnerable to drought.
12% land is vulnerable to floods.
8% land is vulnerable to cyclones.
Apart from natural disasters, some cities in India
are also vulnerable to chemical and industrial
disasters and man-made disasters.

27. Areas of Concern
Activating an Early Warning System network and its
close monitoring
Mechanisms for integrating the
scientific, technological and administrative agencies
for effective disaster management
Terrestrial communication links which collapse in the
event of a rapid onset disaster
Vulnerability of critical infrastructures (power
supply, communication, water supply, transport, etc.)
to disaster events
28. Contd…
Funding : Primacy of relief as disaster response.
Preparedness and Mitigation very often ignored.
Lack of integrated efforts to collect and compile data,
information and local knowledge on disaster history and
traditional response patterns.
Need for standardized efforts in compiling and interpreting
geo-spatial data, satellite imagery and early warning signals.
Weak areas continue to be forecasting, modeling, risk
prediction, simulation and scenario analysis, etc.
29. Contd…
Absence of a national level, state level, and district level
directory of experts and inventory of resources.
Absence of a National Disaster Management Plan, and
State level and district level disaster management plans.
Sustainability of efforts
Effective Inter Agency Co-ordination and Standard
Operating Procedures for stakeholder groups, especially
critical first responder agencies.
Emergency medicine, critical care medicine, triage, first
aid
30. Nodal Agencies for Disaster Management
Floods : Ministry of Water Resources, CWC
Cyclones : Indian Meteorological Department
Earthquakes : Indian Meteorological Department
Epidemics : Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
Avian Flu: Ministry of Health, Ministry of Environment,
Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry
31. Nodal Agencies for Disaster Management
Chemical Disasters : Ministry of Environment and
Forests
Industrial Disasters : Ministry of Labour
Rail Accidents : Ministry of Railways
Air Accidents : Ministry of Civil Aviation
Fire : Ministry of Home Affairs
Nuclear Incidents : Department of Atomic Energy
Mine Disasters : Department of Mines
32. Dynamics of Disasters
There is a high probability or a low probability for an
event happening somewhere sometime soon…
The unpredictability of disaster events and the high
risk and vulnerability profiles make it imperative to
strengthen disaster preparedness, mitigation and
enforcement of guidelines, building codes and
restrictions on construction of buildings in flood-prone
areas and storm surge prone coastal areas.
33. New Directions for Disaster Management in
India
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has
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.
34. New Directions for Disaster Management in
India
A National Disaster Mitigation Fund will be administerd by NDMA.
States and districts will administer mitigation funds.
A National Disaster Response Fund will be administerd 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.
35. 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
36. Future Directions
Encourage and consolidate knowledge networks
Mobilise and train disaster volunteers for more
effective preparedness, mitigation and response
(NSS, NCC, Scouts and Guides, NYK, Civil
Defence, Homeguards)
Increased capacity building leads to faster
vulnerability reduction.
Learn from best practices in disaster
preparedness, mitigation and disaster response
37. Future Directions
Mobilising stakeholder participation of Self Help
Groups, Women’s Groups, Youth Groups, Panchayati
Raj Institutions
Anticipatory Governance: Simulation exercises, Mock
drills and Scenario Analysis
Indigenous knowledge systems and coping practices
Living with Risk: Community Based Disaster Risk
Management
38. 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.
39. Future Directions
Inclusive, participatory, gender sensitive, child
friendly, eco-friendly and disabled friendly
disaster management
Technology driven but people owned
Knowledge Management: Documentation and
dissemination of good practices
Public Private Partnership
40. Best Practices
On 12 November, 1970 a major cyclone hit the coastal belt of
Bangladesh at 223 km/hr. with a storm surge of six to nine
meters height, killing an estimated 500,000 people.
Due to the Cyclone Preparedness Program, the April 1991
cyclone with wind speed of 225 km/hr. killed only 138,000
people even though the coastal population had doubled by
that time.
In May 1994, in a similar cyclone with a wind speed of 250
km/hr. only 127 people lost their lives.
In May 1997, in a cyclone with wind speed of 200 km/hr. only
111 people lost their lives.
41. 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
