 Disaster is a sudden accident or a
natural catastrophe that causes
great damage or loss of life.
 It is an event or fact that has
unfortunate consequences.
 Disaster means that any occurrence
that causes damage, ecological
disruption, loss of human life or
deterioration of health and health
services on a scale sufficient to
warrant and extraordinary response
from outside the affected
community or area (WHO 1995).

4. DISASTER MANAGEMENT
 Disaster Management can be defined
as the organization and management
of resources and responsibilities for
dealing with all humanitarian aspects
of emergencies, in particular
preparedness, response and recovery in
order to lessen the impact of disasters.
 It means that all such measures should
be taken so that hazard 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.

5. DISASTER MANAGEMENT
STRUCTURE
 The system incorporates an “all
agencies” approach that involves all
levels of government, numerous
organisations and agencies as well as

group is comprised of
representatives from a number of
agencies including Council, Police,

Prime Minister, and State Disaster Management Authorities (SDMAs) headed by respective Chief
Ministers, to spearhead and implement a holistic and integrated approach to Disaster
