Disasters are events which disrupt the lives of people and cause large-scale social or economic damage, such as floods, oil spills or major fires. Disaster management refers to the process of managing disasters, including the development of systems to mitigate against and prevent disasters; responding to disasters when they occur; providing relief to communities affected by disasters; and assisting in the rehabilitation of communities affected by disasters. Disaster management initiatives cover mainly the body of policy and administrative decisions and operational activities, which pertain to the various stages of a disaster at all levels. The objective of this book is to provide readers/students with an integrated understanding of various kinds of initiatives and programmes required to tackle major disasters, hazards and crisis and their control, mitigation/prevention and reduction with special reference to possible management solutions. This book will be devoted mainly to the practical management aspects of disaster mitigation, risk assessment, hazard minimisation and vulnerability analysis.
