Disaster
Disaster management is the process of planning, organizing, and implementing measures to reduce the impact of disasters on life, property, and the environment. Disasters can be natural, such as earthquakes, floods, cyclones, and droughts, or man-made, including industrial accidents, fires, and wars. Effective disaster management involves preparedness before a disaster occurs, quick response during emergencies, and proper recovery after the event. Preparedness includes early warning systems, safety training, and emergency planning, while response focuses on rescue operations, medical aid, and providing food and shelter to affected people. Recovery and rehabilitation help communities rebuild infrastructure, restore livelihoods, and return to normal life. With the increasing frequency of disasters due to climate change and urbanization, disaster management has become essential for ensuring safety, reducing losses, and building a resilient society.
