Hazard
• Any phenomenon that has the potential to cause disruption or damage to people and their environment
Vulnerability
• The conditions determined by physical, social, economic and environmental factors or processes, which increase the susceptibility of a community to the impact of hazards Vulnerable Populations
Emergencies, especially those that occur in Nature, only become catastrophic events when they combine with vulnerability factors such as human settlements and population density.
An earthquake occurring in a deserted area would be considered a natural hazard; but if it occurred in a mega city it would be recognized as a major disaster.
Risk
• The probability of harmful consequences, or expected losses (deaths, injuries, property, livelihood, economic activity disrupted or environment damaged) resulting from interactions between natural or human-induced hazards and vulnerabilities
India has been traditionally vulnerable to natural disasters on account of
its unique geo-climatic conditions, Rajasthan,guj,maharashtra – drought prone, Bihar,orissa,mahara - floods
Mumbai flood 2006…. heavy rain..inadeq capacity of rivers..inadeq drainage…poor permeability of soil….12% prone…23 states..diff in rainfall..heavy rainfall in one …. vulnerability to floods ..high poln..illiteracy..unemploy…poverty

The 1987 drought was one of the worst droughts of the century.....famine... widespread scarcity of food, caused by several factors including crop failure, population unbalance, or government policies
3000 affected with cancers ,kidney fiailure….1984..methyl iscyante…3000 dead…2 million people affected
Measuress: built away from dense pop areas…app engineering and technological measures..building codes..containment of toxic materials.. Early warning if possible…..1986..chrnobyl nuclear power station..acccid.release of radio active material..I131,cs 134,sr-90..deposited more than 7 million curies of rafiactive material through out northern hemispher….park..3000 deaths,2 million affected
A natural disaster is any event of force of nature that is caused by environmental factors that has catastrophic consequences
Hazards cannot be prevented…but devastation and loss can be reduced to a great extent thro pre disaster activities…so DM occupies an important in the country policy framework..as it is the poor and under previliged who are the worst one affected on account of disasters…..scyclone in orissa and bhuj underscored the need to adopt
..supercyc 1999,..bhuj earthqu in 2001..underscored the need to adopt a multidisectoral approach for incorp of risk reduction in dev..strategiesAll natural disasters except drought, pest attacks and hailstorm will be handled by the Ministry of Home Affairs. Drought, pest- attacks and
hailstorm will be dealt with by the Ministry of Agriculture & Cooperation.
It is evident from the spectrum of occurnce that adequate procedures to deal with disaster situations are necessary
DM occupies an important place in country policy framework as it is poor and under previliged who are worst affected on account of disasters…response…search,rescue,firstaid,triage,….relief..food,cloth,shelters,..rehab…water,food safety,vector,sanitn,hygiene,
The new approach proceeds from the conviction that development cannot be sustainable unless
disaster mitigation is built into the development process.. The new policy also emanates from the belief that
investments in mitigation are much more cost effective than expenditure on relief and rehabilitation.
The Contingency Action Plan (CAP)
Identifies initiatives to be taken by various Central Ministries and Public Dept. in the wake of natural calamities
encompasses all measures taken to reduce both the effect of hazards itself and the vulnerable conditions in order to reduce the losses in a future disaster

Farakka barrage, Kosi embankment
dam-barrier controlling flow of water: a barrier of concrete or earth that is built across a river or stream to obstruct or control the flow of water, especially in order to create a reservoirdike-embankment to prevent floods: an embankment built along the shore of a sea or lake or beside a river to hold back the water and prevent flooding
Barrage; which consists of a line of large gates that can be opened or closed to control the amount of water passing the dam
key difference between a barrage and a dam is that a dam is built for storing water in a reservoir, which raises the level of water significantly. A barrage is built for diverting water, farakka barrage along ganges river in WB
BIS standards not followed allover,
National Core Group for Earthquake Mitigation plan of action for mitigating the impact of earthquakes
providing advice and guidance to the States on various aspects of earthquake mitigation; developing/organizing the preparation of handbooks/pamphlets/type designs for earthquake resistant construction; working out systems for assisting the States in
the seismically vulnerable zones to adopt/integrate appropriate Bureau of Indian Standards codes in their building byelaws; evolving systems for training of municipal engineers as also practicing architects and engineers in the private sector in the salient features of Bureau of Indian Standards codes and the amended byelaws; evolving a system of certification of architects/engineers for testing their knowledge of earthquake resistant construction; evolving systems for training of masons and carry out intensive awareness generation campaigns.
An earthquake mitigation project has been finalized for reducing the vulnerability to earthquakes. The programme includes detailed evaluation andretrofitting of lifeline buildings such as hospitals, schools, water and powersupply units, telecommunication buildings, airports/airport control towers,railway stations, bus stands and important administrative buildings. Theprogramme also includes training of more than one hundred thousand masonsfor earthquake resistant constructions. Besides, assistance will be providedunder this project to the State Governments to put in place appropriate techno

A protective wall built on the shore of the coastal town of Kalpakkam, in aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake....tree plantn...is a costeffective longlasting means of tsunami mitigation in comparison to artificial barriers...
Some locations of indian ocean remained intact when tsunami struck in 2004..bcoz the existing cocunut palms and mangroves treees
Mangrove swamps protect coastal areas from erosion, storm surge (especially during hurricanes), and tsunamis.[8][9] The mangroves' massive root systems are efficient at dissipating wave energy.[10] ] Sand Dunes are natural structures protecting the coast from high waves and saltwater intrusions (Corre 1991). dune is a hill of sand built either by wind or water flow, Overall, every sand dune is created by the interaction of the wind with soil in the form of grains of sand
The task of drought forecasting is entrusted
to the India Meteorological Department (IMD) which, over the years, has fine-tuned
a methodology for forecasting the intensity of the southwest monsoon on a regional
An irrigation canal winds its way through rice fields near Bangalore. Approximately 55 percent of India’s farmland is not irrigated and depends on the monsoon rains. Drip irrigation, also known as trickle irrigation or micro irrigation or localized irrigation, is an irrigation method that saves water and fertilizer by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the root zone, through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters. It is done through narrow tubes that deliver water directly to the base of the plant.
