Disaster Management Presentation by 04 BATTALION – Asst Commandant

Disaster � The ‘United Nations’ defines Disaster as: � It is an event or a series of events � which gives rise to casualties and/or damage or loss of property, infrastructure, essential services or means of livelihood � on a scale that is beyond the normal capacity of the affected communities to cope with unaided.

OUR ATTITUDE � It will not happen to us. � It will happen anyway, so let’s not get too worked up. � We’ll see when it happens. � There is nothing we can do.

India’s Vulnerability to Disasters � 57% land is vulnerable to earthquakes. Of these, 12% is vulnerable to severe earthquakes. � 68% land is vulnerable to drought. � 12% land is vulnerable to floods. � 8% land is vulnerable to cyclones. � Coastal regions vulnerable to tsunamis. � Himalayan region vulnerable to avalanches. � Many regions vulnerable to landslides, etc. � Industrial areas are also vulnerable to CBRN disasters.

DISASTERS

Yes, it can happen and it will happen to us… So, we should start worrying … And start preparing for Disasters

GOVERNMENT’S ATTITUDE � Till recently, the approach to Disaster Management has been reactive and relief centric. � A paradigm shift has now taken place at the national level from the relief centric to holistic and integrated approach. � Now emphasis is on prevention, mitigation and preparedness. � A typical ‘Disaster Management Cycle’ defines the complete approach to Disaster Management.

Disaster Mitigation � These are activities designed to provide permanent protection from disasters. The risk of loss of life and injury can be mitigated with good evacuation plans, environmental planning and design standards Disaster Preparation � These activities are designed to minimise loss of life and damage – for example by removing people and property from a threatened location and by facilitating timely and effective rescue, relief and rehabilitation. Disaster Response � This is a coordinated multi-agency response to reduce the impact of a disaster and its long-term results. Disaster Recovery � Recovery activities include rebuilding infrastructure, health care and rehabilitation. These should blend with development activities, such as building human resources for health and developing policies and practices to avoid similar situations in future.
