Disaster Management: Preparedness, Response and Recovery
Ms. Meenakshi Jhanwar
Abstract
In order to lessen the effects of catastrophes on people's lives, infrastructure, and the environment, a key area called disaster management has developed. The main ideas and strategies used in disaster management are summarized in this chapter. In order to lessen the negative consequences of natural and man-made catastrophes, it emphasises the significance of preparation, response, and recovery. In order to properly manage and lessen the effects of catastrophes, the chapter also emphasises the need of cooperation among diverse stakeholders, including governmental organisations, non-governmental organisations, and local populations. Societies may improve their resilience and capacity to react to calamities by putting comprehensive disaster management plans and strategies into place, which will ultimately save lives and protect livelihoods.
