Hey!
Ur answer is :-
Disaster is a sudden, calamitous event, bringing great damage, loss, destruction and devastation to life and property. The damage caused by disasters is immeasurable and influences the mental, socioeconomic, political, and cultural state of the affected area. Disasters are events that inflict great damage, destruction, and human suffering. Their origin can be natural, such as earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes, or of human origin: accidents and terrorist acts.
India has been vulnerable to natural disasters on account of its unique geo-climatic conditions. Floods, droughts, cyclones, earthquakes, and landslides have been recurrent phenomena. About 60% of the landmass is prone to earthquakes of various intensities, over 40 million hectares is prone to floods, about 8% of the total area is prone to cyclones, and 68% of the area is susceptible to drought. The loss in terms of private, community, and public assets has been astronomical. India has been struck by numerous disasters in the recent past including, among the major ones, the Bangalore circus tragedy (1981), Bhopal gas tragedy (1984), Gujarat cyclone (1998), Orissa super cyclone (1999), Gujarat earthquake (2001), annual flooding in large parts of the country during the monsoon, and the tsunami in 2004. The response to disasters has gradually improved over the years, as lessons have been learnt from each disaster and adapted. Factors that have inhibited the response to disasters in the past include, lack of a national-level plan policy, absence of an institutional framework at the center / state / district level, poor intersectoral coordination, lack of an early warning system, slow response from the relief agencies, lack of trained / dedicated search and rescue teams, and poor community empowerment.
