Role of education in disaster managementAsha cherian
The document discusses the importance of disaster management education in schools. It notes that natural disasters have killed over 3 million people worldwide in the past 20 years. The purpose of disaster management education is to teach children about risk education and preparedness. Integrating short courses on disaster preparedness into school curriculums can help educate entire families. The document outlines the role of schools in developing safety plans, coordinating with local agencies, and training staff and students to evaluate and improve disaster response plans.
Role of non government organizations in disaster managementPramoda Raj
NGOs and CBOs play an important role in disaster management by providing assistance in all phases of disaster management. In the pre-disaster phase, they assist with awareness generation, education, and disaster preparedness activities. During disasters, they provide emergency relief such as food, shelter, medical aid, and debris removal. In post-disaster recovery, NGOs help with reconstruction, restoration of livelihoods, and monitoring of recovery programs. While NGOs enhance disaster response, there remains opportunities to improve coordination, transparency, accessibility to remote areas, and a focus on the most vulnerable groups.
Disaster risk management involves identifying risks, analyzing their probability and potential consequences, and determining how to reduce risks. Risk is defined as the probability of harm from hazards like floods, earthquakes or fires. Managing risk requires understanding hazards, vulnerable community elements, capacity to build resilience, and developing preparedness, mitigation and recovery plans. Prioritizing risks by probability and consequence allows targeting resources at highest risks first.
The document defines disaster management as dealing with and avoiding both natural and man-made disasters through preparedness, rebuilding after disasters occur, and supporting society. It discusses the phases of disaster management including preparedness, disaster impact, response, rehabilitation, and mitigation. It also outlines the roles of nurses in disaster preparedness through community involvement, response such as triage and ongoing surveillance, and recovery including health teaching and psychological support.
International strategies for disaster reduction tam 2014-04Vijay Kumar
Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) aims to minimize vulnerabilities and disaster risks by preventing or limiting the adverse impacts of hazards through sustainable development. It consists of ways and means to avoid losses from natural hazards. The International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) pursues cooperation and commitments from policymakers to build disaster-resilient communities and reduce human and economic losses from natural disasters.

NGOs play an important role in all phases of disaster management from pre-disaster awareness raising and preparedness to post-disaster relief, rehabilitation, and reconstruction. They provide emergency aid like food, shelter, and medical care. NGOs also assist with non-emergency activities such as education, livelihood restoration, and infrastructure development. Key activities of NGOs include raising awareness, training local communities, promoting disaster-resilient construction, providing emergency and long-term assistance, and collaborating with the government and other organizations. However, NGO response can be challenged by lack of coordination, inadequate adherence to standards, and neglect of remote areas.
Role & Importance of Finance in Disaster ManagementAtul Pandey
This document discusses the role and importance of finance in disaster management. It begins with definitions of key terms like disaster, disaster management, and the disaster management cycle. It then outlines the importance of disaster risk finance, highlighting challenges such as a lack of data and political will. Mechanisms for financing disaster risk are described, including the Hyogo Framework for Action. Finally, stakeholders in disaster risk reduction and sources of financing are presented.
This guide provides tools to assess disaster risk management (DRM) systems at the national, district and community levels. It was created by FAO to address the lack of practical tools for analyzing institutional capacities and coordination for DRM. The guide aims to strengthen DRM systems and integration of DRM into development planning, with a focus on vulnerable sectors and groups. It outlines steps to understand strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats facing DRM institutions, as well as gaps. The assessment process can inform efforts to build institutional and technical capacities for more effective DRM. The modular guide covers assessments at each administrative level and sector to provide a comprehensive picture of national DRM systems.
APPLICATION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FOR DISASTER MANAGEMENT & MITIGATIONAditya Mistry
The document discusses the application of science and technology for disaster management and mitigation. It describes how geo-informatics tools like remote sensing, GIS and GPS can help in disaster management activities such as preparedness, mitigation, response and relief. It also discusses various structural and non-structural mitigation measures for different disasters like earthquakes, floods, cyclones etc. Finally, it lists some key science and technology institutions in India that work on disaster management.
Bangladesh is a natural disaster-prone country of an area about 1, 47, 570 sq. km with population about 140 million (BBS, 2012). Bangladesh is facing various types of natural disaster due to its geographic and geologic setting (Carter, 1991). Bangladesh suffers regularly and frequently from disasters like flood, cyclone, drought, earthquake and landslide etc. (Fig.1). Disasters are annual event in Bangladesh (Nasreen, 2004). From time immemorial, the geographical location, land characteristics, multiplicity of rivers, monsoon climate and coastal morphology of Bangladesh have been a mixed blessing (Sabur, 2012). Bangladesh does not meeting all the necessities of pre, during and post disaster activities that cannot deal with to have large collaboration of different organization with highly advanced equipment. Disaster management in Bangladesh is mainly concerns to disaster mitigation and preparedness (Kafiluddin, 1991).
This document discusses the role of remote sensing and GIS in disaster management. It begins with an introduction to disaster management cycles and then describes how remote sensing is used across different stages of disasters like cyclones, earthquakes, and floods for tasks such as early warning, damage assessment, and recovery planning. It provides examples of various satellites used for monitoring different disasters. The document emphasizes that while hazards cannot be prevented, remote sensing can play a key role in minimizing loss of life through preparedness, response, and rebuilding efforts after disasters strike.
The media plays an important role in disaster management by covering natural and human-made disasters and raising awareness. To effectively fulfill this role, disaster management organizations should establish direct relationships with media. Experience shows that regular interactions with media before a disaster improves information sharing and coordination during the response. The media can contribute by prioritizing disaster risk issues, facilitating early warning systems, increasing international donations, and improving coordination between policymakers and donors. Engaging youth volunteers in all phases of disaster management from preparedness to recovery can strengthen community resilience.
1) Community-based disaster management (CBDM) empowers local communities to manage risks and disasters through their participation in prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery efforts.
2) Case studies of CBDM programs in several Asian countries found that key factors for success included meaningful community participation, capacity building, training, and integrating projects into long-term development plans.
3) Examples of CBDM programs discussed include rebuilding efforts after earthquakes in India and Afghanistan, retrofitting schools to make them earthquake resilient, and developing construction guidelines and training masons.
Introduction, Types and Phases of Disaster ManagementVelika D'Souza
Using information from the internet, I created a presentation detailing what is disaster management, its types and phases.
*Please open in Microsoft PPT for high definition and best effects :)
This document discusses different approaches to human ecology and their relation to disasters. It describes three main approaches: ecosystem approach, landscape approach, and perception approach.
The ecosystem approach focuses on interactions between organisms and their environment. It recognizes humans as integral parts of ecosystems. The landscape approach takes a holistic view of natural features, infrastructure, stakeholders, and external forces affecting an area. It facilitates inclusive risk assessment and planning.
The perception approach involves three stages: selection of sensory information, organization of information into patterns based on proximity, similarity, and difference, and interpretation to explain selections and organizations in a way that makes sense, influenced by both internal and external factors.
This document discusses using space technology for disaster management. It introduces how satellite data can help with hazards mapping, monitoring volcanoes and ground deformation, and discriminating damage from tsunamis, floods, landslides, and more. International frameworks like Sentinel Asia and the International Charter on Space & Major Disasters are also covered, which provide satellite data during disasters. Overall, the document outlines how space technology can improve disaster response and prevention by allowing around-the-clock monitoring from space when conditions on the ground limit visibility and access.
