DISASTER MANAGEMENT :-


We can classify disasters broadly into two categories based on the cause :- Natural disasters and human - made disasters.

● Natural Disasters are caused by geographical factors, like earthquakes and cyclones.
● Human-made disasters are caused by human activities, like industrial accidents, wars, and environmental pollution.

These disasters affect lives, properties and industrial production. They might even result in some permanent changes to human societies, ecosystems and environment. To cope better with disasters, and the havoc they cause in the lives of those affected, the study of disaster management was started.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN FOR NATURAL DISASTERS :-

● Identify a safe place at home, school and office - under a sturdy table a desk or against an inside wall where nothing can fall on you.

● Practise the three vital steps of drop, cover and hold on. Drop under a sturdy desk or table, hold on, and protect your eyes by pressing your face against your arm. If there is no table or desk nearby, sit on the floor against an Interior wall away from Windows, book cases, or tall furniture that could fall on you.

● It you are outside during an earthquake, stay on open ground away from buildings, trees and electric poles which could fall on you.

● All buildings in earthquake-prone regions should be made as per the specifications laid down by the Indian government. They should be bolted firmly to the ground.

● Learn first aid and to operate a fire extinguisher.

● Last but not the least, do not panic; stay calm.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN FOR HUMAN - MADE DISASTERS :-

● Find out whether the industrial units close to your city use hazardous chemicals.

● Find out if the local administration has a emergency plants to deal with industrial accidents.

● Find out about the antidotes needed in case of poisoning of people animals, water resources, etc., and their availability.

● Find out from the hospitals, if they are capable of handling cases of exposure to chemicals.
