Question

What do you understand by disaster management ?

Answer 1

Disaster management means that all such measures should be taken so that hazard can not take the form of disaster. Since, we can not prevent the coming of many natural hazards but can reduce their harmful effects by proper management in order to minimize the loss of life and asset

Disasters are the consequences of natural or human hazards . In fact, the current danger is not as much from the natural disasters as we have from man-made disasters. for example - Urban flood due to unsustainable urbanisation, Drought due to poor water management, rapid infrastructural development and overpopulation settlement in ecologically sensitive areas like Himalaya region lead to the problem of earthquake and landslides .

Disaster management broadly encompasses the management before ,during and after disaster.
