Acknowledgement
In this project I would like to thank my
geography teacher, Mr. Umesh Sir as
he guided me for preparing this
project. I would also like to guide our
Principal sir who gave me this golden
opportunity to show case our talents. I
would also like to thank my elders as
they provided me all the necessary
materials needed for the project. I
would also like to encourage Delhi
Pubic School for giving us a path of
creativity. Lastly, I would like to thank
my family members for helping me out
in this project.
Preface
The objective of disaster management
would be to implement a plan with the
following criteria.
Given information, data,
development plans and disaster
organization can enable the readers to
understand the various aspects of
disaster management.
As we know, disasters are likely to
happen at any place at any time, with
rarely a warning.
We should be regularly prepared so
that in case of a disaster we can easily
cope with it. Even if a disaster occurs
we can meet basic requirements like
first aid, etc.
# Analyze information about hazards,
vulnerability and development to
identify opportunities or situations
where prevention, migration and
preparedness measures might be
applied to reduce risk and
improvement in response.
# Determine the role of various
agencies in implementing various
disaster management programs and
activities.
This project is written in a simple

language so that it is easily understood
by everyone

Disaster Management
“Disaster Management” can be
defined as the organization and
management and resources for
dealing with all humanitarian aspects
of emergencies in particular
preparedness, response and
recovery in order lessen the impact
of disaster.
Not all disasters, particularly natural
disasters, can be
Prevented, but the risk and injury
can be mitigated with good
evacuation plans, environmental
planning and design standards. In
January 2005,168 governments
adopted a 10 years global plan for
natural disaster risk reduction called
the Hyogo Framework. It offers
guiding principles, priorities for
action, and practical means for
achieving disaster resilience for
vulnerable communities.
These activities are designed to
minimize loss of life and damage for
example by removing people and
property from a threatened location
and by facilitating timely and
effective rescue, relief and
rehabilitation.
Natural Disaster
A natural disaster is a major adverse
event resulting from natural processes
of the earth; examples include floods,
hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic
eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and
other geologic processes. A natural
disaster can cause less of life or
property damage and typically leaves
some economic damage in its way, the
severity of which depends on the life of
the affected population or ability to
recover and also on the infrastructure
available.
Types of Disasters
1) avalanches and landslides -
A landslide is described as an outward
and downward slope movement of an
abundance of slope-farming materials
including rock, soil, artificial, or even a
combination
2) Earthquakes -
An earthquake is the result of a sudden
release of energy in the Earth’s crust
that creates seismic waves. At the
Earth’s surface earthquakes manifest
themselves by vibration, shaking and
sometimes displacement
3) Volcanic Eruption –
Volcanoes can cause widespread
destruction and consequent disaster in
several ways. The effects include the
volcanic eruption itself that may cause
harm following the explosion of the
volcano or falling rocks
4) floods –
A flood is an overflow of water that
submerges land. The EU floods
directive defines a flood as a temporary
covering by water of land which is
usually not covered by water. Flooding
may result In the volume of water
within a body of water, such as a river
or a lake.
5)Thunderstorms –
Severe storms, dust clouds and
volcanic eruptions can generate
lightning. Apart from the damage
typically associated with storms, such
as winds, hail and flooding itself can
damage buildings and kill by direct
contact
6)Cyclonic storms –
Cyclone, hurricane and typhoon are
different names for the same
phenomena, which is a cyclonic storm
system that forms over the ocean. The
determining factor on which terms is
used is based in which they originate
7)Drought –
Drought is the unusual dryness of soil
caused by levels of rainfall significantly
below average over a prolonged
period.
Implementation Idea
An emergency plan must be regularly
maintained, in execution and in a
methodical manner, to ensure it is up-
to-date in the event of an emergency.
Emergency manager generally follow a
common process to anticipate, assess,
prevent, prepare, respond and recover
form an incident
Prevention
It focuses on preventing the human
hazard, primarily from potential
natural disasters or terrorist attacks.
Preventive measures are taken on both
the domestic and international levels,
designed to provide permanent
protection from disasters. Not all
disasters, particularly natural disasters
can be prevented, but the risk of loss of
life and injury can be mitigated with
good evacuation plans, environmental
planning and design standards.
Preventing or reducing the impacts
of disasters on our communities is a
key focus for emergency management
efforts today. Prevention also helps to
reduce the financial loss of disaster
response and recovery.
RESPONSE
The response phase of an emergency
may commence with search and rescue
but in all cases the focus will quickly
turn to filling the basic humanitarian
needs of the affected population. This
assistance may be provided by national
or international agencies and
organizations. Effective coordination of
disaster assistance is often crucial,
particularly when many organizations
respond and local emergency
management agency (LEMA) capacity
has been exceeded by the demand or
diminished by the disaster itself. The
national response framework is a
united states government publication
that explains responsibilities and
expectations of government official at
the local, state, federal and tribal
levels. It provides guidance on
emergency support functions that may
be integrated in whole or parts to aid
in the response and recovery process.
Conclusion
Disaster risk in the application disaster
risk reduction policies and strategies to
prevent new disasters risk, reduce
existing disaster risk, and manage
residual risk management actions can
be classified into; prospective disaster
risk losses management and
prospective. The message being put
across is that, in order to move
towards safer and sustainable
development, development projects
should be sensitive towards disasters.
Our mission is to vulnerability
reduction to all types of hazards, be it
natural or man-made. This is not an
easy task to achieve keeping in view,
the vast population and the multiple
natural hazards to which this country is
exposed.
