that victims cannot reduce suffering without assistance.
 The reasons for this are varied including:

 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)

 This involves lessening the likely effects of emergencies.
 These include depending upon the disaster, protection of
vulnerable population and structure.
 Similarly ensuring the safety of health facilities and public
health services including water supply and sewerage system to

21. SUMMARY
21
 Disaster management is more than just response and relief.
 It is a systematic process i.e., is based on the key management
principles of planning, organizing and leading which includes
coordinating and controlling.
 This aims to reduce the negative impact or consequences of
adverse events i.e., disasters cannot always be prevented, but
the adverse effect can be minimized.
