Introduction
 Introduction

Disaster management is the process of preparing for, responding to,

and recovering from disasters. It involves organizing resources and
responsibilities to reduce the impact of disasters.
What is a disaster?
A disaster is a sudden event that causes great loss, damage, or
destruction.
Disasters can be natural, like earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes.
Disasters can also be human-made, like industrial accidents and
terrorist attacks.
What are the goals of disaster management?
• To reduce or avoid human, physical, and economic losses
• To reduce personal suffering
• To speed recovery
• To protect victims whose lives or property are threatened
How is disaster management implemented?

• Through planning, organizing, coordinating, and implementing

measures
• Through mitigation, which reduces the likelihood or
consequence of a hazard
 • Through structural mitigation, which alters the physical
environment
• Through nonstructural mitigation, which modifies human
behavior or natural processes
What are some examples of disaster management?

• Building schools and hospitals in flood-prone areas

• Designating floodplains for outdoor recreation.
How is disaster management implemented in India?

• The Disaster Management Act of 2005 established the National

Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and State Disaster
Management Authorities (SDMAs).
• The NDMA is led by the Prime Minister of India.
• The government has a strategy to build a safer, more resilient
India by using technology to prevent, mitigate, and prepare for
disasters.
What are the steps in the disaster management ?

• Plan: Governments, businesses, and civil society plan for

disasters.
• Respond: Governments, businesses, and civil society respond
to disasters as they happen.
• Recover: Governments, businesses, and civil society take
steps to recover after disasters
What are the points of disaster management?
• Prevention: Reducing the likelihood of disasters by identifying
and minimizing risks. This can include raising awareness,
educating the public, and installing warning systems.
• Mitigation: Reducing the impact of disasters to minimize loss
of life and property. This can include structural and
nonstructural measures.
• Preparedness: Preparing to respond quickly and effectively to
disasters. This can include identifying hazards, assessing risks,
and creating plans.
• Response: Responding to disasters by issuing warnings,
transporting people to safety, and providing rescue and relief.
• Recovery: Restoring the affected area to an operational state.
This can include rebuilding infrastructure, restoring civic
utilities, and strengthening livelihoods.
 Background of Disaster
Management

A disaster refers to a catastrophe, mishap, calamity or grave

occurrence from natural or man-made causes, which is beyond the
coping capacity of the affected community. Disaster Management
involves a continuous and integrated process of planning,
organising, coordinating and implementing measures which are
necessary or expedient for:

• Prevention of danger or threat of any disaster.

• Mitigation or reduction of risk of any disaster or its severity or
consequences.
• Capacity building including research and knowledge
management.
• Preparedness to deal with any disaster.
• Prompt response to any threatening disaster situation or
disaster.
• Assessing the severity or magnitude of effects of any disaster.
• Evacuation, rescue and relief.
• Rehabilitation and reconstruction.
• Prevention of threat of any disaster
• Reduction of risk of any disaster or its consequences
• Readiness to deal with any disaster
 • Promptness in dealing with a disaster
• Assessing the severity of the effects of any disaster
• Rescue and relief
• Rehabilitation and Reconstruction

A typical DM continuum comprises six elements; the pre-disaster

phase includes prevention, mitigation and preparedness, while the
post-disaster phase includes response, rehabilitation,
reconstruction and recovery.
A disaster is a serious disruption that overwhelms a community’s
ability to cope using its own resources. Disasters can be caused by
nature, technology, or humans.
Disaster risk reduction
The goal of disaster risk reduction is to reduce vulnerabilities and
disaster risk throughout society. This involves analyzing and
reducing the causal factors of disasters.
Disaster management in India
In India, the Government of India enacted the Disaster Management
Act in 2005. This act established the National Disaster Management
Authority (NDMA) and State Disaster Management Authorities
(SDMAs).

 Disaster Management Act
On India

Disaster management (DM) as defined in DMA, 2005 is “a

continuous and integrated process of planning, or organization
coordinating and implementing measures which are necessary or
expedient” for the following:

• Prevention of danger or threat of any disaster.

• Mitigation or reduction of risk of any disaster or its severity or
consequences.
• Capacity-building.
• Preparedness to deal with any disaster.
• Prompt response to any threatening disaster situation or
disaster.
• Assessing the severity or magnitude of effects of any disaster.
• Evacuation, rescue, and relief.
• Rehabilitation and reconstruction
Disaster is not a new phenomenon. Disasters have been taking
place worldwide constantly with “varied degrees of severity”. Due to
the geo-climatic conditions and socio-economic vulnerability India
is highly prone to different types of disasters. India is said to be one
of the ten worst disaster-prone countries in the world. 30 different
types of disasters, including drought, floods, cyclone soil erosion.
 Stages of Disaster
Management

• Response/Rescue : This is initiated immediately after a

calamity to ensure that everyone is safe. It involves providing
temporary shelter, food, drinking water, other basic essentials,
clearance of carcass (dead bodies), easing access to health
care facilities, maintaining sanitation, power supplies, public
information, and security. It has to be initiated within 72 hours
from the impact.

• Relief : It aims at providing humanitarian help and recovery

from the impact of disaster based on the psychosocial needs
of the affected community. Along with other relief measures
psychosocial support and mental health services will be
provided at this stage. It has to be initiated between 72 hours to
three months.

• Rehabilitation : It involves all measures aiming at increasing

resilience, strengthening livelihood, quality of life and day-to-
day activities. It focuses on enabling civic utilities, building
infrastructure and restoration. From the mental health service
 point of view, it should aim at monitoring psychosocial
complications, and facilitating mental health referrals and
follow-ups. It runs between three months to two years.

• Reconstruction/Rebuilding : This stage goes on between two

years to lifetime. It aims at creating sustainable and resilient
communities that help to rebuild the individual coping
abilities, family structures, livelihood, and environment. This
stage is also linked with the pre-disaster phases (preparedness
and mitigation) where the community is prepared to respond
better to future emergencies.

• Mitigation : It is a process focusing on the

elimination/reduction of disaster impact. This includes
planning or modification of plans/policies, and developing
measures to reduce disaster risk from local to national level.

• Preparedness : It is an ongoing activity where individuals,

families and communities are helped to plan activities that
they can do in response to a disaster and to minimize the
impact of disaster. This ensures promptness, fosters
adaptation, and builds resilience.

What is methodology in disaster management?
The internationally accepted elements of disaster management are
prevention, preparation, response, recovery, and rebuild. A
community's ability to cope with the impact of a disaster will
depend on whether it has prepared and managed plans that deal
with these elements.
The Post Disaster Rebuild Methodology and Training Project was a
response by the Project Management Institute (PMI) to the Indian
Ocean tsunami disaster of December 26, 2004. PMI, through its
Global Operations Center (GOC) and International Development
Specific Interest Group (IDSIG), collaborated to develop project
management methodology for post-disaster rebuild projects and an
associated train-the-trainer course. Several international relief
agencies guided the PMI GOC staff as to what would be the most
beneficial response to disasters. Disaster response and recovery
phases are normally well established processes for most agencies
and government, and therefore it was decided to focus on the
rebuild phase of disaster management. PDRM assists relief
agencies and other non-government organizations (NGOs) by
providing a common terminology and common project management
methodology based on A Guide to the Project Management Body of
Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) 2004 Edition. PDRM is structured very
similarly to the PMBOK® Guide 2004 edition. This methodology was
developed by 80 project management volunteers and subject
matter experts representing 20 countries. The official introduction of
this methodology was presented at the North American Congress in
Toronto, Canada, in September 2005 by Wanda Curlee, the project
manager, and Kay Fleischer, the chair of IDSIG.

Disasters can cause political and military constraints on
humanitarian assistance.
 Application of Disaster
Management
Disaster management is applied through a series of strategies and
actions that aim to reduce the impact of disasters on people,
property, and the environment.
These strategies include:

• Prevention: Identifying potential hazards and vulnerabilities to

prevent disasters from occurring
• Mitigation: Reducing the impact of disasters before they
happen through long-term measures
• Preparedness: Preparing for disasters by developing plans and
procedures
• Response: Providing emergency services and public
assistance during and immediately after a disaster

The system provides timely updates on the developing situation,
including the nature of the disaster, affected areas, and
recommended actions.
• Early warning system integration:
Often linked to weather monitoring and other early warning systems
to provide advance notice of potential hazards.
Examples of situations where a metropolis alert might be used:
• Severe weather events: Heavy rainfall, cyclones,
thunderstorms, heatwaves, or flash floods.
• Earthquake tremors: Early warning alerts for potential seismic
activity.
 • Industrial accidents: Chemical spills, fire outbreaks in
hazardous facilities.
• Terrorist threats: Immediate notification of potential danger
zones.
Benefits of a metropolis alert system:

Appendix
 Appendix of Disaster
Management

Earthquake preparedness is part of disaster manage Ment, which

involves mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.
Earthquake preparedness
If you’re indoors, drop to the ground and take cover under a sturdy
piece of furniture
If you’re outdoors, move to an open area away from buildings, trees,
and power lines
If you’re in a car, pull over and stop, and set your parking brake
If you’re in bed, turn face down and cover your head and neck with a
pillow
If you can’t find shelter, crouch low against a wall, with your arms
covering your head and neck
Hold on to something sturdy and ride out the earthquake until the
shaking stops
Earthquake disaster management
The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) is a specialized
agency that conducts search and rescue operations during
earthquakes
The NDRF is deployed in the aftermath of major seismic events
Earthquake causes
Earthquakes are caused mostly by the rupture of geological faults,
but also by other events such as volcanic activity, landslides, mine
blasts, fracking, and nuclear tests.
An appendix in a disaster management plan may include
information about fire alarms, fire safety systems, and fire
evacuation procedures.
