    Natural disasters occur unpredictably and can threaten life and the environment. They can be divided into two categories: natural disasters caused by natural processes like earthquakes, floods and volcanic eruptions, and man-made disasters caused by human errors or negligence, like fires, transportation accidents and terrorist attacks. Disaster management aims to effectively mitigate the impacts of disasters through advance planning and resource allocation. It focuses on developing concrete plans to minimize threats and reduce the impact of disasters, especially by raising public awareness of preventive measures to take during emergencies. Disaster management deals with various natural and man-made calamities and aims to save lives, animals and property. Because of its geography, India is highly

    Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction

    Nature manifests itself in a variety of ways, both gentle and aggressive. We can observe how
    it can be quiet at times and then turn violent at others. Of course, everyone admires the
    tranquil side, but when the fierce side emerges, disaster ensues. Because people cannot
    control everything, certain natural phenomena are beyond our control. Similarly, when
    natural calamities occur, humans have little influence over them. We can, however, prevent
    them. In other words, if a terrible scenario emerges that threatens life and the ecology, we
    must immediate action to save and preserve lives. Natural disasters are unpredictable and
    can occur anywhere and at any moment. We identified the different forms of disasters in
    order to fully comprehend disaster management.

    We might easily argue that nature is not solely to blame for their occurrence. They occur for
    a variety of reasons. This is why we divided them into distinct groups. The first category is
    natural disasters caused by natural processes. They are the most dangerous natural disasters
    that inflict loss of life and harm to the environment. Earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions,
    storms, and other natural calamities are among the worst. There are also man-made
    disasters. They are the result of technical flaws or human negligence. Fires, nuclear
    explosions or radiations, oil spills, transportation accidents, terrorist attacks, and other man-
    made disasters are examples. Nature has little or no say in these kinds of calamities.

    Disaster management is the effective administration of resources and responsibilities to


    mitigate the impact of a disaster. It entails a well-planned course of action so that we can
    make effective attempts to minimize the threats produced by the calamity. Most crucially,
    disaster management does not necessarily eliminate the threat totally, but it does reduce
    the impact of the event. It focuses on developing concrete plans to do this. Proper disaster
    management can be accomplished by making residents aware of the preventive steps to be
    taken in emergency situations. For example, everyone should be aware that in the event of
    an earthquake, we should seek protection behind a bed or table.

    Disaster management is a multifaceted program that encompasses the saving of lives,


    animals, and property during a natural disaster or a disaster caused by man-made activity. It
    deals with various disasters such as drought, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and landslides.
    Disasters have an impact on the lives of people from all socioeconomic backgrounds. Every
    country is vulnerable to calamities in some form. Because of its geographical location, India
    is extremely vulnerable to natural disasters. In recent decades, India has experienced
    numerous natural calamities. Many properties have been damaged, and many people have
    lost their homes. Slums have been devastated as a result of the natural calamities.

    Even in an online setting we can all learn the basic things we should do in an occurence of a
    disaster. We also discussed in class the importance of knowing and sharing information,
    preparing an emergency kit, orienting the family about what to do BEFORE, DURING and
    AFTER a disaster. Through this we can minimize the number of deaths and we can all survive
    a disaster.
