Disaster Management is the discipline of dealing with and avoiding
or reducing the aftermath of an emergency situation. It is a
discipline that involves disaster response such as emergency
evcuation, quarantine, mass decontamination, etc. and also
supporting, and rebuilding society after natural or human-made
disasters have occurred. In general, any disaster management is the
continuous process by which all individuals, groups, and
communities manage hazards in an effort to avoid or ameliorate the
impact of disasters resulting from the hazards. Actions taken
depend in part on perceptions or risk of those exposed. Effective
disaster management relies on thorough integration of emergency
plans at all levels of government and non-government involvement.
Activities at each level (individual, group, community) affect the
other levels. It is common to place the responsibility for
governmental emergency management with the institutions for civil
defense or within the conventional structure of the disaster
services. The nature of management depends on local economic and
social conditions. Experts have noted that the cycle of disaster
management must include long-term work on infrastructure, public
awareness, and even human justice issues. The process of disaster
management involves four phases, namely mitigation, preparedness,
response, and recovery. This Manual is an assimilation of a lot of
public domain material in a structured format so as to be useful to
students as well as practitioners of the science of Disaster
Management.
