Answer 1

The correct option is D All of these

Disaster is a sudden, calamitous and unfortunate event that brings with it great damage, loss, destruction and devastation to human life as well as property. Disaster management is very important to survive in case of natural or man-made disaster. Disaster management activities are aimed to minimize loss of life and damage in the event of disaster. Disaster management measures can help removing people and property from a threatened location by facilitating timely and effective rescue, relief and rehabilitation at the place of disaster thereby reducing loss of property, protecting people and reducing trauma among people.
