DISASTER MANGEMENT CYCLE

S.N DISASTER STAGE NATURE OF ACTIVITY

O
1. PREVENTION The purpose of prevention is saving human lives,cattles

2. MITIGATION It reduces the risk and impacts of hazards through protective

measures.
It may be a structural or non-structural.
Some measures are mentioned :
Hazard mapping ,flood plain mapping , reinforced tornado safe
rooms
3. PREPAREDNESS Preparedness intersects with both of these two areas,
serving as a
temporal connector between the pre-impact and
post-impact phases of a disaster event.
4. RESPONSE The difference between life and death can be a matter of
&RELIEF hours. Initial life-saving search and rescue operations
need to arrive very fast, possess specialised skills, and
often need heavy or specialised technical equipment.
Thus response and relief is needed
5. RECONSTRUCTION A reconstruction program is the first step towards
restoring and upgrading local habitat. It introduces
improved systems of building, sets up basic building
element supply, builds up the skills and management
capacity of families, local agencies and village artisans
in a restricted area and sets up local information and
knowledge systems. All these to enable "better building".
