Prevention and Preparedness
Prevention and preparedness are two key components of disaster management. We
will see what we can do to prevent and prepare ourselves to face these problems.
Prevention
It has become possible to prevent man-made disasters due to research in new
technologies. Preventive actions have helped to control disasters. Government has an
important role to play in preventing disasters. Similarly, every citizen is an important player in
preventing a disaster. Although natural phenomenon like precipitation, movement of Earth’s
crust and lightning cannot be prevented, precautions to protect lives and infrastructure could
be taken to avoid losses and destruction. Such actions are called Mitigation.
Preparedness
Much as we may wish to be free of dangers, many dangers – Natural and Human
induced lurk around all of us. Thus it is important for us to be well prepared to face the dangers.
We may take all efforts to prevent hazards from getting converted into disasters. We may
attempt to reduce the adverse impacts which are called mitigation measures. Preparations
are of many types – creating warning systems, having adequate resources, having reactive
forces in readiness and increasing awareness of the population and most importantly, have
Disaster Management plans ready i want information about it in short
