- 1. Disaster Management –Overview • • Definition and importance of disaster management • • Objectives: Save lives, reduce damage, quick recovery • • Four phases: Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, Recovery
- 2. What is aDisaster? • • A serious disruption causing widespread losses • • Natural or human-induced events • • Impact on life, property, economy, environment
- 3. Types of Disasters– Natural • • Earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, cyclones, droughts • • Biological disasters: epidemics, pandemics • • Environmental disasters: forest fires, landslides
- 4. Types of Disasters– Man-Made • • Industrial accidents, chemical spills • • Nuclear disasters, transport accidents • • Terrorism, cyber attacks
- 5. Disaster Management Cycle •• Mitigation – Reduce impact • • Preparedness – Training, planning, drills • • Response – Immediate actions to save lives • • Recovery – Long-term rebuilding
- 6. Prevention & Mitigation •• Risk assessment and hazard mapping • • Building codes and land-use planning • • Infrastructure strengthening
- 7. Preparedness Measures • •Community training and awareness • • Mock drills and emergency planning • • Resource stockpiling and coordination
- 8. Early Warning Systems •• Weather monitoring technologies • • Public alert systems (SMS, sirens, radio) • • Role of IMD, NDMA, local authorities
- 9. Disaster Response Overview •• Immediate relief operations • • Coordination between agencies • • Saving lives and preventing further damage
- 10. Search and RescueOperations • • NDRF, SDRF, police and community teams • • Use of specialized equipment • • Rapid response and evacuation
- 11. Emergency Medical Support •• First aid and triage • • Mobile medical units • • Psychological support and trauma care
- 12. Relief & Rehabilitation •• Distribution of food, water, shelter • • Rebuilding homes and infrastructure • • Supporting affected families
- 13. Role of GovernmentAgencies • • NDMA, NDRF, State Disaster Authorities • • Policy-making and coordination • • Funding and emergency resource management
- 14. Role of NGOs& Communities • • Local volunteer groups • • NGOs like Red Cross, UNICEF • • Community resilience building
- 15. Technology in Disaster Management •• AI and big data analytics • • Drones for surveillance • • Mobile apps and communication tools
- 16. GIS & RemoteSensing in Disaster Mgmt • • Mapping hazard zones • • Damage assessment using satellite data • • Supporting planning and mitigation
- 17. Communication During Disasters •• Emergency communication protocols • • Use of HAM radio, satellite phones • • Public information systems
- 18. Incident Command System(ICS) • • Standardized emergency response structure • • Roles and responsibilities clearly defined • • Ensures coordination and clarity
- 19. Disaster Risk Reduction(DRR) • • Reducing vulnerability • • Improving capacity building • • Implementing risk-based policies
- 20. Climate Change &Disaster Risks • • Rising sea levels and extreme weather • • Increased droughts and storms • • Need for climate adaptation strategies
- 21. Urban Disaster Management •• High population density risks • • Smart city-based monitoring systems • • Urban flood control and planning
- 22. School & WorkplaceSafety Plans • • Evacuation routes and drills • • Emergency response teams • • Safety equipment and training
- 23. Case Study –Cyclone/Flood Response • • Example: Cyclone Fani / Chennai Floods • • Steps taken by government and volunteers • • Lessons learned
- 24. Lessons Learned &Best Practices • • Early warnings save lives • • Community participation is crucial • • Coordination between agencies improves outcomes
- 25. Conclusion – BuildingResilient Communities • • Need for preparedness and mitigation • • Technology-enabled disaster response • • Stronger infrastructure and awareness
