4. • Natural disasters have
been responsible for the
deaths of millions of
people
• Earthquake
• Landslides
• Avalanche
• Volcano
• Tornado
• Hurricanes, floods
• Fires
• Meteors
• Etc…
• Man-made disasters may
be accidental or
intentionally caused
• Fires
• Explosive devices

Mortality due to natural hazards
1990 - 2000

6. Anand Patwardhan, IIT-Bombay 6
Exposure to natural hazards
• 40 million hectares flood prone (5% of area)
• 54% area exposed to seismic activity
• East coast of India and Gujarat (West coast) exposed to
cyclone risk
• A preliminary assessment of exposure to major hazard
categories has been done in 1996-1998 (as a part of
IDNDR) by the Building Materials Technology Promotion
Council of the Ministry of Urban Development. Check:

11. Floods
• Floods affect the lives of
more than 65 million people
per year
• More than any other type of
disaster, including war,
drought and famine
• In East and Southeast Asia,
during the monsoon season,
rivers swell to over 10 times
the dry season flow
• About 13% (of 45,000) of all
large dams in the world – in
more than 75 countries –
have a flood management
function

12. Flood Damage
• Injuries and loss of life
• Social disruption
• Income loss
• Emergency costs
• Physical damage
– Structures, utilities, autos, crops, etc.
• Lost value of public agency services
– Police & fire protection, hospitals, etc.
• Tax loss
– Property and sales www.ci.austin.tx.us

14. Floods and Water Hazards
Elements at Risk
• Everything in the
flood plain.
• Earthen or soluble
structures
• Buried services
and utilities
• Food stores
• Crops and
livestock
Main Mitigation
Strategies.
• Land use control
• Engineering of
strictures
• Elevation of structures
• Flood control
structures
• Reforestation projects
(watershed
management)

15. Flood-Damage Reduction
Measures
Measures that
reduce damage by
reducing discharge
Measures that
reduce damage by
reducing stage
Measures that
reduce damage by
reducing existing
damage

Measures that
reduce damage by
reducing future
