Disaster management is

• Disaster Management can be defined as the organization


and management of resources and responsibilities for
dealing with all humanitarian aspects of emergencies, in
particular preparedness, response and recovery in order

to lessen the impact of disasters.


CLASSIFICATION OF DISASTER

• Natural Disasters • Man-made Disasters

natural phenomena beneath the earth’s 1. Caused by warfare (household welfare)


2. Conventional warfare ( Non Traditional
surface such as
security)
1. Landslide
3. Nuclear, biological and chemical warfare
2. Earthquake
such as covid-19
3. Tsunami

4. Flooding
Natural Disasters

• A natural disaster is the effect of a natural hazard (e.g.,


flood, tornado, hurricane volcanic eruption, earthquake
or landslide).
Landslide

Do not build near steep


slopes, close to mountain
edges, near drainage ways,
or natural erosion valleys.
Get a ground assessment of
your property.
Earthquake

• Ducking under a table or desk is the


quickest way to protect yourself. If
you’re in a high rise building, and away
from a table or desk, move against a
wall. Don’t panic when the sprinkler or
alarm systems turn on due to
malfunction, and DO NOT use the
elevators.
tsunami

• Do not go near the shore to watch a tsunami


hit. If you can see it, you are too close to escape.

• Should a tsunami occur and you cannot get to


higher ground, stay inside where you are
protected from the water. It's best to be on the
landward side of the house, away from
windows
Flooding

• Do not walk, swim or drive through flood


waters. Turn Around. Don’t Drown!

• Stay off bridges over fast-moving water. Fast-moving


water can wash bridges away without warning.

• Stay inside in your if it is trapped in rapidly moving


water. Get on the roof if water is rising inside the car.
Man-made Disasters

• A man- made disasters is a disaster resulting from human intent,


negligence or error. Disasters can be man made where the cause is
intentional or unintentional. All kinds of man made disasters lead to
human suffering, loss of life and a long term damage to a nations
economy.
warfare
Conventional warfare ( Non Traditional security)
Nuclear, biological and chemical warfare such as covid-19
The 4 Phases of Disaster Management

• Mitigation 

• Preparedness

• Response

• Recovery
Mitigation

• Mitigation is defined as “sustained action that reduces or eliminates


long-term risk to people and property from natural hazards and their
effects.” It describes the ongoing effort at the federal, state, local and
individual levels to lessen the impact of disasters upon our families,
homes, communities and economy.
Preparedness

• Preparedness constitutes the knowledge and capacities developed by


governments, professional response and recovery organizations,
communities and individuals to effectively anticipate, respond to, and
recover from, the impacts of likely, imminent or current hazard
events or conditions.
Response

• Actions carried out immediately before, during, and immediately after a


hazard impact, which are aimed at saving lives, reducing economic
losses, and alleviating suffering. Response actions may include
activating the emergency operations center, evacuating threatened
populations, opening shelters and providing mass care, emergency
rescue and medical care, fire fighting, and urban search and rescue.
Recovery

• Actions taken to return a community to normal or near-normal


conditions, including the restoration of basic services and the repair
of physical, social and economic damages.  Typical recovery actions
include debris cleanup, financial assistance to individuals and
governments, rebuilding of roads and bridges and key facilities, and
sustained mass care for displaced human and animal populations.
