Answer:
By a disaster, we mean, an unexpected, cataclysmic occurrence that disturbs the running of a community or society and causes human, material, and environmental losses that take a lot of time to recover from and are known to cause the population and property an immense amount of risk and damages that takes a lot of time to recover. So, disaster management basically refers to the art of protecting and preserving lives and property during a natural disaster.
The disasters are usually caused by nature, some misshapes do take place because of man-made follies. India is known to be susceptible to the natural disasters because of the country’s unique geo-climatic environment. Floods, earthquakes and droughts are a common occurrence.
In India, 59% of the landmass is prone to earthquakes. Over 40 million hectares of land is prone to floods and droughts are also a continuous occurrence that happens once or twice a year on a regular basis. According to national research, from the years1990-2000, 4344 people lost their lives and 30 million people were affected gravely by the disasters every year. That is why disaster management is an essential part of our.
The government and the citizens must all be prepared when a disaster strikes. The government needs to put more efforts, resources and manpower into the disaster management institutions, so we are taught on how to deal with such grave situations. The government also needs to be prepared themselves, on how to provide the rescue services and reaching the affecting area before the calamity strikes.
A natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of the Earth; examples are floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, storms, and other geologic processes. A natural disaster can cause loss of life or damage property,and typically leaves some economic damage in its wake, the severity of which depends on the affected population's resilience (ability to recover) and also on the infrastructure available.
An adverse event will not rise to the level of a disaster if it occurs in an area without vulnerable population. In a vulnerable area, however, such as Nepal during the 2015 earthquake, an earthquake can have disastrous consequences and leave lasting damage, which can require years to repair.

NGOs are organizations that are nonprofit making, voluntary and independent of government, engaged in activities concerning various societal and developmental issues. The role of the NGO's during a disaster is to have quick response and to try and save as many lives as it can with the given funds. NGO's have a faster response to situations because it does not need to clear paperwork. A study was undertaken in cyclone Aila affected areas in West Bengal on role of Non Governmental Organization on disaster management. The main role performed by the NGOs were providing relief materials, organizing health camp, involved in rescue operation, arranging temporary shelters and so on. The data were collected in the month of October 2013 to March, 2014 to attain the objective of the study. A total 150 respondents were selected purposively as the respondents. The data were processed into percentage, mean score and score gap. The findings of the study conclude that, the people of the disaster affected area should inform the details of the disaster sufficiently ahead. Friends and relatives followed by electronic and print media were the better source of information about occurrence of disasters. The study also found that the role of the NGOs in disaster management were providing relief materials, involvement in rescue operations, arranging temporary shelters; organize health camp and developing communication facilities. NGO also provided training and education to the children.
