Floods occur when water submerges dry land, and can be caused by heavy rainfall or other phenomena like storm surges from tropical cyclones. Some safety precautions for floods include assembling disaster supplies, evacuating if at risk, never driving or walking through flooded areas, and waiting until it is safe to return after a flood has receded. People should also be alert for flash flood warnings, climb to high ground immediately if warned, and use caution entering buildings after flooding.

DISASTER AND ITS CAUSES
Natural disasters are events caused by natural hazards like floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, etc. that lead to damage and losses. The impact of a natural hazard depends on the vulnerability of the affected population - their ability to resist the hazard. While hazards exist naturally, it is human settlement and involvement that transforms them into disasters. Several types of natural hazards are described in detail, including earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, volcanoes, floods, and thunderstorms. Common causes and effects of each hazard are summarized.

Flood
Floods occur when water overflows or breaks levees and causes water to escape its usual boundaries. There are several principal types of floods including areal, riverine, estuarine, coastal, and catastrophic floods. Floods can cause primary effects like physical damage, secondary effects like diseases and food shortages, and long-term economic impacts. Flood control involves defenses like levees, reservoirs, and emergency measures. Major floods throughout history have caused massive loss of life.
floods
Floods are caused by overflowing rivers and water bodies due to heavy rainfall or storms. They can be slow onset floods developing over time or rapid onset flash floods. To protect oneself, important measures include proper city planning, knowing early warning signals, evacuating dangerous areas, disinfecting flooded areas, and discarding contaminated food and supplies after a flood.
Flood Safety
If flooding is possible, move immediately to higher ground and avoid areas prone to flash flooding. Prepare to evacuate by securing your home and disconnecting electrical appliances. Do not walk or drive through flood waters as little as six inches can knock you down or cause you to lose control of your vehicle.

Similar to Floods
Safety in Flood
Floods are among the most common and destructive natural hazards that can affect large regions or local areas. Flash floods are particularly dangerous as they form quickly with little warning and produce fast moving water that can sweep away objects. To minimize flood risk, one should avoid low-lying areas, know their flood risk, have an evacuation plan prepared, and pack essential items. During a flood, one should move to higher ground whether on foot or in a vehicle and not attempt to walk or drive through flood waters. After a flood, there are new dangers such as weakened infrastructure, so it is important to assess safety, be aware of additional flooding risks, and clean and disinfect all items exposed to flood waters.
Natural disasters and its management
Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, cyclones, and floods are some of the major natural hazards discussed in the document. For earthquakes, the document describes what they are, how they are measured, and their typical causes from tectonic plate movement. For tsunamis, it notes they are large sea waves caused by seismic events. Key steps outlined for preparing for tsunamis include learning about risk, developing evacuation plans, and moving quickly inland to higher ground if one occurs. Volcanic eruptions and cyclones are also briefly mentioned. Floods are described as overflowing of water beyond normal boundaries, with heavy rain, dam breaches, or tidal waves listed as common
Natural Disasters
Many natural changes are undesirable.It is necessary that these changes are properly controlled . We must study these changes to learn how they are caused and find ways to control them to safe guard ourselves.
Safety techniques on tsunami
A tsunami is a series of waves generated by the displacement of water, usually caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides or other disturbances. The International Tsunami Warning System monitors for tsunamis in the Pacific Ocean and issues warnings to local authorities. The best sources of information during a tsunami are the two Tsunami Warning Centers and local emergency management agencies who provide warning messages to notify the public of any tsunami risks.

Earthquake Hazards PART 3.pptx
1) Tsunamis are large ocean waves caused by sudden displacement of water, often due to earthquakes, landslides or volcanic eruptions.
2) Upon reaching shore, tsunami waves can break and reach heights far exceeding normal sea levels, potentially causing coastal inundation of tens of meters.
3) To escape a tsunami, take earthquakes occurring near shore as an alert to immediately evacuate to high ground, bringing a survival kit and staying away from evacuation routes exposed to tsunami waves or secondary hazards.
New tsunami
1. A tsunami is a series of ocean waves caused by earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions that sends surges of water onto land, sometimes reaching heights over 100 feet.
2. To protect yourself from tsunamis, learn about the risk in your area from local officials and evacuate immediately if an earthquake occurs near the coast or if warning sirens sound. Stay away from coastal areas after a large earthquake.
3. After a tsunami, help others who need assistance and avoid entering damaged buildings or areas with standing water. Use phones only for emergencies.

The document discusses flooding risks and preparedness in Spain. It identifies the key risk areas as the northern basin and parts of the Mediterranean coast, totaling over 500 locations. The main causes of flooding are excessive precipitation from rain storms and snowmelt in high mountain areas. Human activities like paving surfaces and deforestation can exacerbate flood impacts. The document provides tips for preparing for and responding to flooding, such as developing evacuation routes, staying informed of warnings, and knowing how to stay safe during and after a flood.
A seminar on flood
Floods are natural occurrences where an area of land that is normally dry becomes submerged by water. There are different types of floods including river flooding from overflowing streams or rivers, flash flooding caused by heavy sudden rainfall, coastal flooding from storm surges and rising sea levels, urban flooding in cities with poor drainage, and sewer flooding from blocked drains. To protect from floods, it is important to avoid building in floodplains, construct barriers to stop floodwater, and listen to warnings to evacuate. Major floods that have impacted India include the 2005 Mumbai floods that killed over 1,000 people and the 2018 Kerala floods that killed over 400.
Disaster Management and Risk Reduction: The Flood
Flood is a natural disaster that occurs when an excessive amount of water overwhelms dry land. Floods can be caused by heavy rain, melting snow, storm surges from hurricanes or tsunamis, or overflowing rivers, lakes or other bodies of water. Floods can cause extensive damage to buildings, infrastructure and crops as well as loss of life and displacement of people. To reduce flood risk, individuals and communities should stay informed about weather forecasts and flood warnings, understand their flood risk level, prepare their homes in flood-resistant ways, and have emergency plans in place.
THE TSUNAMI
1. Tsunamis are giant waves caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the sea. While tsunami waves do not increase much in height in the deep ocean, they build up dramatically as they reach shallow coastal waters.
2. The deadliest tsunami in recent history was in 2004, when an earthquake in the Indian Ocean triggered a tsunami that killed over 230,000 people across 14 countries, including over 10,000 in India.
3. It is important to evacuate coastal areas immediately when tsunami warnings are issued, as the first wave may not be the largest and tsunamis consist of multiple waves that can last for hours. Staying alert and having an evacuation plan can

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
