O ovoj e-knjizi

The "Textbook of Disaster Management" is an invaluable academic resource, diving into catastrophe theory, risk assessment, and novel ways to prepare students and researchers for efficient disaster response. The first chapter covers disaster dynamics, terminologies, and fundamental ideas. A disaster is defined as an incident that interrupts a community's regular functioning and causes major human, material, or environmental losses. Vulnerability, resilience, and risk are key ideas that work together to form catastrophe outcomes. The second chapter explores several approaches to disaster risk reduction (DRR), focussing on proactive interventions. These include preparedness, mitigation, and response measures designed to reduce the effect of catastrophes. Communities may strengthen their resilience and lower their vulnerability to future disasters by including disaster risk reduction in their development plans. The third chapter explores the importance of the link between calamity and progress. Rapid urbanisation, climate change, and socioeconomic gaps increase vulnerability, necessitating a comprehensive strategy to disaster risk management (DRM). This entails working with government agencies, non- governmental organisations (NGOs), and communities to construct sustainable development frameworks that include risk assessments and disaster preparedness. The fourth chapter explores how effective disaster management in India necessitates a paradigm change from reactive to proactive techniques that promote resilience, ensuring that development activities do not jeopardise safety and sustainability. The emphasis on education and awareness is critical in equipping communities to comprehend and respond to catastrophe dynamics effectively.
