3. INTRODUCTION :-
Disaster, as defined by the United Nations, is a serious disruption of the
functioning of a community or society, which involve widespread human,
material, economic or environmental impacts that exceed the ability of
the affected community or society to cope using its own resources.
Disaster management is how we deal with the human, material, economic
or environmental impacts of said disaster, it is the process of how we
“prepare for, respond to and learn from the effects of major
failures”. Though often caused by nature, disasters can have human
origins. According to the International Federation of Red Cross & Red
Crescent Societies a disaster occurs when a hazard impacts on vulnerable
people. The combination of hazards, vulnerability and inability to reduce
the potential negative consequences of risk results in disaster
