 I would like to thank Miss , our teacher-in-charge and our Principal,
Miss Arti Chopra for their support and guidance in completing our
Acknowledgement project on the topic (Disaster Management). It was a great learning
experience.
 Disaster management is a process of
effectively preparing for and responding to
What is a disasters. It involves strategically organizing
resources to lessen the harm that disasters
disaster cause. It also involves a systematic
management? approach to managing the responsibilities
of disaster prevention, preparedness,
response, and recovery.
 What are the components of
Disaster Management?
The 4 components of disaster management are mitigation,
preparedness, response, and recovery.
Mitigation: - Mitigation means to reduce the impact of disasters.
Preparedness: - Preparedness is a research-based set of actions that
are taken as precautionary measures in the face of potential disasters.
Response: - response refers to the actions taken directly before, during
or in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. The objective is to save
lives, ensure health and safety and to meet the subsistence needs of
the people affected
Recovery: - recovery is the process of maintaining or reestablishing
vital infrastructure and systems following a natural or human-induced
disaster, such as a storm or battle.
CASE STUDY OF 2 NATURAL OR
MAN-MADE DISASTERS IN
MANIPUR
Landslide In Manipur 2022
 A large landslide occurred in Noney district of
the Indian state of Manipur near
the Tupul railway construction site on the
night of 30 June 2022. It killed 58 people and
three people were missing. Eighteen people
were injured. Twenty-nine Indian
Army personnel and 29 civilians were among
the deceased.
Location Of Landslide :-
The landslide occurred in the district of Noney, at 107 Territorial Army Camp, near the Tupul railway
construction site of the Jiribam–Imphal line of Indian Railways. The landslide occurred in the district of Noney,
at 107 Territorial Army Camp, near the Tupul railway construction site of the Jiribam–Imphal line of Indian
Railways.

Major Causes Of this Disaster:-

Experts at Manipur University said that nearly all landslides in the region have been caused by the poor
lithology—fractured rocks, steep slopes and unstable mass were contributing factors. It was likely that the
water-clogged soil liquefied and destabilized, causing the landslide.

Rescue And Recovery:-

The government of Manipur mobilized the National Disaster Response Force and State Disaster Response
Force to coordinate rescue missions. Over 250 soldiers, rescuers and police officers were involved. Bulldozers
and excavators were used to find bodies in the nearby river. Search and rescue operations by the Assam Rifles
and Territorial Army went underway to find between 50 and 72 missing individuals. Twenty-three to 43 of the
missing were Territorial Army soldiers. By July 20, the total death toll reached 56, with five people still
missing. The deceased included 29 Indian Army personnel and 27 civilians. On 20 July 2022, the rescue
operation was officially called off with five bodies still missing.

Response:-
Officials warned residents in Noney district against approaching the Ijei river due to the possibility of a flood.
The Chief Ministers of Manipur, N. Biren Singh, said that ₹500 thousand would be given to the families of
those killed as an ex-gratia, while ₹50 thousand would be given to the injured. Travellers were told to avoid
National Highway 37.
Earthquake In Manipur 2016
The 2016 Imphal earthquake struck northeast India in the
state of Manipur on January 4 with a moment magnitude of
6.7 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of VII (Very strong).
Its epicentre was in the Tamenglong district; about 30 km
west of Imphal. At least 11 people were killed, 200 others
were injured, and numerous buildings were damaged.The
quake was also strongly felt in Bangladesh. It was also
extensively felt in eastern and north-eastern India.
Location of the disaster:-
The epicenter of the earthquake was in the Tamenglong district; about 30 km west of Imphal.

Major Causes of the Disaster:-

The Eurasia tectonic plates -- the slabs of planet that created the highest mountains in the world -- collide.
The two continental plates are coming together at a rate of 40 millimeters to 50 millimeters a year, producing large
numbers of earthquakes that make the region one of the most seismically volatile on Earth, according to the U.S.
Geological Survey.
On the surface, the boundary between the plates is marked by the foothills of the Sulaiman Range in the west, and
the Indo-Burmese Arc in the east and the part of the Himalaya Front in the north of India.
The earthquake generated was is known as a strike-slip fault, where sections of the Earth move like two blocks
rubbing alongside each other at vertical, or nearly vertical, fracture points.

Response:-
To ensure “physical safety… in view of the earthquake and
likely recurrence in immediate future” the state
government ordered week-long closure of all educational
institutions. General holiday was also declared for all
government departments, excluding essential services.
