Natural Disaster

2.  Uk Flood
 Nepal Drought
 Gujarat earthquake

3.  In June 2013, a multi-day cloudburst centered on the North Indian state
of Uttarakhand caused devastating floods and landslides becoming the country's worst
natural disaster since the 2004 tsunami.The main day of flood is said to be on 16 June
2013. Though some parts of Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh in
India experienced the flood, some regions of Western Nepal, and some parts of
Western Tibet also experienced heavy rainfall, over 95% of the casualties occurred in
Uttarakhand. As of 16 July 2013, according to figures provided by the Uttarakhand
government, more than 5,700 people were "presumed dead."[2] This total included 934
local residents.

4.  Unprecedented destruction by the rainfall witnessed in Uttarakhand state was
attributed, by environmentalists, to unscientific developmental activities undertaken
in recent decades contributing to high level of loss of property and lives.[4] Roads
constructed in haphazard style, new resorts and hotels built on fragile river banks
and more than 70 hydroelectric projects in the watersheds of the state led to a
"disaster waiting to happen" as termed by certain environmentalists.
 The environmental experts reported that the tunnels built and blasts undertaken for
the 70 hydro electric projects contributed to the ecological imbalance in the state,
with flows of river water restricted and the streamside development activity
contributing to a higher number of landslides and more flooding.

5.  The 2015 Nepal earthquake (also known as the Gorkha earthquake)
 which killed more than 7,000 people and injured more than twice as many
 The earthquake occurred on 25 April 2015 at 11:56 a.m. NST (06:11:26 UTC) at a
depth of approximately 15 km (9.3 mi) (which is considered shallow and therefore more
damaging than quakes that originate deeper in the ground),[22] with
its epicenterapproximately 34 km (21 mi) east-southeast of Lamjung, Nepal, lasting
approximately twenty seconds.[23] The earthquake was initially reported as 7.5 Mw by
the United States Geological Survey (USGS) before it was quickly upgraded to 7.9
Mw and finally downgraded to 7.8 Mw. The China Earthquake Networks Center (CENC)
reported the earthquake's magnitude to be 8.1 Ms

The epicentre was about 9 km south-southwest of the village
of Chobari in Bhachau Taluka of Kutch District
of Gujarat,India.[4][5] The earthquake reached 7.7 on the moment magnitude scale and
had a maximum felt intensity of X (Intense) on theMercalli intensity scale. The

another 167,000 and destroyed nearly 400,000 homes

11.  Scope of
Hazards and
Disaster
Management

12. India and Natural Disasters
 India is one of the most disaster prone
countries in the world
Over 65% land area vulnerable to earthquakes;
70% of land under cultivation prone to drought;
5% of land (40 million hectares) to floods;
8% of land (8,000 km coastline) to cyclones.
A Major Disaster occurs every 2-3 years;
50 million people affected annually
1 million houses damaged annually along with human,social and other losses
During 1985-2003, the annual average damage due to natural
disasters has been estimated at 70 million USD

13. The Myths
 It Can’t Happen to Us.
 The Nature’s forces are so Deadly the
Victims will Die anyway.
 There is Nothing We Can Do

14. Definition of Disaster
 A Disaster is an event that occurs in most cases suddenly and
unexpectedly, causing severe disturbances to people, objects and
environment, resulting in loss of life ,property and health of the
population. Such a situation causes disruption in normal pattern of
life, generating misfortune, helplessness and suffering affecting
the socio-economic structure of a region/country to such an extent
that there is a need for assistance or immediate outside
intervention.

15. Ingredients of a Disaster
 A phenomenon or event which constitutes a
trauma for a population/environment.
 A vulnerable point/area that will bear the brunt of
the traumatizing event.
 The failure of local & surrounding resources to
cope with the problems created by the
phenomenon.
 Types of Disasters
 Natural - Manmade

16. Disasters affecting India
 EARTHQUAKE
 VOLCANIC ERUPTION
 TSUNAMI

THE SYSTEMATIC OBSERVATION AND
ANALYSIS OF DISASTERS, TO IMPROVE
MEASURES RELATING TO PREVENTION,
MITIGATION, PREPAREDNESS,
EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND
RECOVERY.”

20. National Disaster
Management Framework
To make Disaster Management an integral part of National Development
Agenda
To promote Awareness and Education in Disaster Management
To promote Human Resource Development in Disaster Management (master
plan for training and capacity building)
To develop Institutional Frameworks at the National and State levels for
mainstreaming disaster management
To establish multi-hazard preparedness, mitigation and prevention plans at all
levels
To enhance capacities at all levels for multi-hazard preparedness and
response
 GOI-UNDP Disaster Risk Management Programme (DRM)
 will be the platform to launch these activities.
