Introduction
• A Disaster is a serious problem occurring over a short or
long period of time that causes widespread human,
material, economic or environmental loss which exceeds
the ability of the affected community or society to cope
using its own resources.
• The organization and management of resources and
responsibilities for dealing with all the humanitarian
aspects of emergencies, in particular preparedness,
response and recovery in order to lessen the impact of
disasters is known as Disaster Management.

TYPES OF DISASTERS
1.Natural Disasters
Natural Disasters are naturally occurring physical phenomena caused either by rapid or

slow onset events that have immediate impacts on human health and secondary impacts
causing further death and suffering.
Examples: Earthquakes, Landslides, Tsunamis and Volcanic Activity.
2.Man-Made Disasters
Man-Made Disasters are events that are caused by humans which occur in or close to
human settlements often caused as a result of the environment.
Examples: Environmental Degradation, Pollution Accidents (e.g., Industrial, Technological

and Transport usually involving the production, use or transport of hazardous materials.
DISASTER MANAGEMENT
1.Prevention-The best way to address a disaster is by being
proactive. This means identifying potential hazards and
devising safeguards to mitigate their impact.
2.Mitigation-Mitigation aims to minimize the loss of human

life that would result from a disaster. Both structural and
nonstructural measures may be taken.
3.Preparedness-Preparedness is an ongoing process in which

individuals, communities, businesses and organizations can
plan and train for what they’ll do in the event of a disaster.
4.Response-Response is what happens after the disaster occurs.

It involves both short- and long-term responses.
5.Recovery-The fifth stage in the disaster-management cycle is

recovery. This can take a long time, sometimes years or
decades.

• आपदा प्रबंधन से तात्पर्य है कि हम प्राकृतिक और
मानव निर्मित आपदा के दौरान जीवन और संपत्ति की
अधिकतम संख्या की रक्षा या संरक्षण कैसे कर सकते
हैं। भारत अपनी अद्वितीय भू-जलवायु परिस्थितियों के
कारण प्राकृतिक आपदाओं के लिए पारं परिक रूप से
कमजोर रहा है । बाढ़, सूखा, चक्रवात, भूकंप और
भस्ू खलन की पनु रावत्ति

• आपदा प्रबंधन से आप क्या समझते हो? आपदाओं का
प्रत्यक्ष या अप्रत्यक्ष प्रभाव, प्राकृतिक या मानव निर्मित,
व्यापक क्षति, विनाश और मत्ृ यु है । आपदा प्रबंधन वह
अनश ु ासन है जिसके द्वारा मानव लगातार आपदाओं से
होने वाले नुकसान को कम करने के प्रयास करता है ।
भारत ने राष्ट्रीय आपदा प्रबंधन प्राधिकरण (NDMA)
जैसे कई विभागों और संगठनों की स्थापना की है ।

INTEGRATED TO MATHS
• What is the role of mathematics in disaster management? Mathematical
modeling plays a key role in hazard assessment, forecasting and warning.
Tsunami warnings are another area where successful predictions have
been carried out at global and regional scale. At the national and local
levels, mathematical models are used in all most all types of disasters.
• The program starts by taking information about the type of disaster

(earthquake, flood, hurricane, tsunami, fire, etc.), quantifiable units
(Richter scale for earthquakes, wind speed for hurricanes, etc.) .. and a
vulnerability measurement of the area.
• We apply a new mathematical modeling framework to examine how the

magnitude and nature of the natural disaster risk being managed affects
insurer and homeowner risk management decisions and outcomes.
INTEGRATED TO SCIENCE(Floods)
• Flood disaster management indicate not letting the excess runoff water flow
suddenly and intensively in the drainage network. After the out breaking floods
of 1954, flood management works were taken up in a planned manner by the
State Governments.
• The main thrust of managing floods in different river basins was to modify the
floods through specific structural measures such as reservoirs, embankments,
channel improvement, town protection and river training works. Some of the
major steps of flood disaster management are:
1. Flood Forecasting
2. Reduction of Runoff
3. Reducing Flood Peaks by Volume Reduction (constructing dams and detention

basins)
4. Reducing Flood Levels
5. Protection against Inundation
6. Flood Plain Zoning

INTEGRATED TO SOCIAL
(Earthquakes)
• Earthquake is one of the major natural disasters. Every year it
causes a huge loss of life and property all around the world.
Proper strategies and awareness about disaster management is
the need of the hour. This will protect us from the losses and
help to cope up with these hazards. However, in order to reduce
the destruction caused by these occurrences the disaster
management committee has laid some safety measures.
• Earthquakes are caused due to sudden tectonic movements in the

earth’s crust. When the tectonic plates slide over one another,
there is a cause of orogeny which results in earthquakes and
volcanoes. These disturbances cause vibrations that spread in all
directions. As there is a relative motion of these plates, there is
stress built up, which breaks by releasing the stored energy
known as shock waves.
INTEGRATED TO A.I
Integrated to Sustainable development goals
1. Artificial intelligence can help us to manage a disaster with its technology.
2. Artificial intelligence (AI) applications, such as tracking and mapping, geospatial analysis, remote sensing techniques,
robotics, accident and hot spot analysis, etc. are the technological components of societal change, having significant
implications for research on the societal response to hazards and disasters.
3. Social science researchers have used various technologies and methods to examine hazards and disasters through
disciplinary, multidisciplinary, and interdisciplinary lenses.
4. They have employed both quantitative and qualitative data collection and data analysis strategies.
5. Integrating a geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing (RS)into disaster management enables higher
planning, analysis, situational awareness, and recovery operations.
6. Visualization capabilities, satellite images, and artificial intelligence analysis can assist governments in making quick
decisions after natural disasters.
7. AI is vital to all disaster management phases, leading to a faster, more concise, equipped response.
RELATION TO HARYANA
Telangana Haryana
As per the latest seismic Geological and

zonation map released recently geomorphologic setup of
by the government of India, Haryana made it prone to
Telangana falls in zone-II several natural hazards i.e.,
(least hazardous) of the seismic floods, water logging, soil
map. salinity, soil erosion,
landslides, drought etc.
Telangana is less prone to
earthquakes. It falls under Zone-IV. It is
more prone to earthquakes.
