Why Disaster Management

Disaster management is a process of preparing for and responding effectively to disasters. It involves strategically organizing resources to reduce losses from disasters. It also includes a systematic approach to managing the responsibilities of disaster prevention, preparedness, response and recovery.

Whether it is natural or man-made disaster affects everyone. With its topography and unique geographical location, India is highly susceptible to natural disasters. Floods, cyclones and earthquakes have a devastating impact on people, community infrastructure and the local economy. It affects the surrounding flora and fauna along with the population of that area. The main objective of disaster management is to provide relief to the people or animals who have suffered due to the disaster.
