Disaster Management Cycle

The disaster management cycle outlines the process of preparing for,


responding to, recovering from, and mitigating disasters. It focuses on the
efficient use of resources and measures to minimize impacts and restore
normalcy and development.

1. Phases: Disaster management occurs before, during, and after a


disaster, involving the Disaster Risk Management (DRM) component,
relief, response, recovery, rehabilitation, and reconstruction.

2. Disaster Response:

 Conducted immediately after a disaster to save lives and address


humanitarian needs.

3. Recovery:

 Occurs over the short, medium, and long term post-disaster.

 Includes rehabilitation and reconstruction, which are long-term


activities focused on restoring public infrastructure, services, and
critical facilities.
4. Building Back Better:

 Aims to mitigate existing risks and avoid creating new


vulnerabilities during recovery, rehabilitation, and reconstruction.

This cycle emphasizes proactive preparation, effective response, and


sustainable recovery to minimize disaster risks and foster resilience.

Rationale for Risk Management

1. Risk management aims to break the cycle of damage and


reconstruction caused by repeated natural hazards.
2. For it to be effective, a strategic plan must be prepared in advance and
ready for immediate implementation when needed.
3. Proactive preparation and planning are essential to achieve this goal.

Disaster Risk Management Objectives

The primary objectives of disaster risk management are to:

1. Reduce community vulnerabilities to hazards.

2. Sustain long-term efforts to lower unacceptable risks to acceptable


levels, ultimately fostering disaster-resistant and resilient communities.

Disaster risk management refers to range of:

1. Policies - Guidelines and frameworks developed to address risks.

2. Legislative mandates - Laws and regulations that enforce risk reduction


strategies.

3. Professional practices - Expertise and standards applied by professionals


in disaster management.

4. Social, structural and non-structural adjustments - Measures such as


community awareness to reduce vulnerabilities.

5. Risk transfer mechanism to prevent, reduce or minimize the effects of


hazards on a community - Tools like insurance and financial instruments to
distribute the economic impact of disasters.
Conclusion

To reduce vulnerabilities, minimize the effects of disasters, and build resilient


communities, disaster management and risk management are essential
processes. These strategies ensure that risks are effectively managed while
promoting long-term safety and resilience through proactive planning,
efficient response, and sustainable recovery efforts.

The disaster management cycle is focused on mitigation, response, recovery,


and preparation before, during, and after a disaster. Relief, rehabilitation,
restoration, and better building back are vital components that lower risks
and prevent future vulnerabilities.

Rationale for Risk Management: Aims to break the cycle of damage and
reconstruction caused by repeated hazards through advance preparation,
planning, and immediate implementation of strategies.

Disaster Risk Management Objectives: Reduce vulnerabilities and sustain


efforts to lower risks, fostering disaster-resilient communities.

Components of DRM: Includes policies, laws, professional practices,


structural and non-structural adjustments, and risk transfer mechanisms like
insurance to minimize the effects of disasters.

By combining these principles, long-term risks are decreased and a


comprehensive approach to catastrophe preparedness, response, and
recovery is created.
