Disaster Management

Disaster management means that all such measures should be taken so that hazards 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 urbanization, Drought due to poor water management, rapid infrastructural development and overpopulation settlement in ecologically sensitive areas like the Himalaya region lead to the problem of earthquake and landslides.
