Unit 3: Overview

Lesson 13 of 38 in the free Disaster Management notes on Siksha Sarovar, written by Rohit Jangra.

Unit 3: Disaster Management Cycle & Framework

This unit provides an in-depth understanding of the Disaster Management Cycle, a continuous process essential for reducing the impact of disasters. We will explore how the global perspective has shifted from a reactive "relief-centric" approach to a proactive "prevention-centric" strategy.

Key Concepts Covered:

  1. Disaster Management Cycle:
  • Understanding the circular nature of disaster management.
  • How post-disaster recovery leads back into pre-disaster preparedness.
  1. Paradigm Shift:
  • Moving away from just helping after the disaster.
  • Focusing on identifying risks and reducing them before a disaster strikes.
  1. The Three Phases:
  • Pre-Disaster Phase: Activities like Risk Assessment, Zonation, and Early Warning Systems.
  • During-Disaster Phase: Immediate emergency response, Evacuation, Search & Rescue.
  • Post-Disaster Phase: Damage Assessment, Rehabilitation, and Reconstruction.
  1. International Frameworks:
  • Study of global agreements (IDNDR, Yokohama Strategy, Hyogo Framework) that guide countries in making policies to safer nations.
