What is Disaster? Disaster is a sudden, calamitous event bringing great damage, loss,
destruction and devastation to life and property. WHO defines Disaster as "any occurrence, that causes damage, ecological disruption, loss of human life, deterioration of health and health services, on a scale sufficient to warrant an extraordinary response from outside the affected community or area”
The damage caused by disasters is immeasurable and varies with the geographical location, climate and the type of the earth surface/degree of vulnerability. This influences the mental, socio-economic, political and cultural state of the affected area. Generally, disaster has the following effects in the concerned areas:
1. It completely disrupts the normal day to day life. 2. It negatively influences the emergency systems. 3. Normal needs and processes like flood, shelter, health, etc. are affected
and deteriorate depending on the intensity and severity of the disaster.

Why Disaster Occurs?
3
Climate change is likely to be perceived through experience of extreme weather events
Therefore, response to climate change will perhaps happen through adaptation to climate hazards
Important to characterize the institutional mechanisms and structures in place for responding to natural (and climate-related) disasters

Average annual impacts from natural hazards
Mortality: 3600 Crop area: 1.42 million hectares Property (houses): 2.36 million dwellings

Exposure to natural hazards 40 million hectares flood prone (5% of area) 54% area exposed to seismic activity East coast of India and Gujarat (West coast)
exposed to cyclone risk A preliminary assessment of exposure to major
hazard categories has been done in 1996-1998 (as a part of IDNDR) by the Building Materials Technology Promotion Council of the Ministry of Urban Development.

Climate hazards within overall context of disaster management
Statutory responsibility of state governments Central government provides logistic and
financial support Elaborate response mechanism at national level State level responses vary National coordinating body: National Disaster
Management Cell (NDMC), Department of Agriculture and Co-operation, Ministry of Agriculture

DISASTER MANAGEMENT POLICY- SALIENT FEATURES
* Recognition of linkages between natural
disasters and development
* Connecting of specific programmes like
DPAP, DDP, NWDPRA and Wasteland
Development Programme for managing
natural disasters
* Emphasis on forecasting and warning using advanced technology

External Assistance -Policy
No formal appeal for external assistance made for relief
External assistance,if offered as solidarity accepted with gratitude
Gujarat earthquake- international response overwhelming
Bi-lateral agreements suggested by some countries for emergency response

Example: AP cyclone hazard mitigation project outcomes
Hazard mitigation studies (international consultants)
IMD early warning capacity through Doppler radar
Infrastructure creation and restoration Floods – drains & embankments Road restoration Storm shelters Electricity transmission and distribution
What about system / process capabilities?
24
Ghanshyam Godbole.....................F.Y.B.Com
Observations Recognition of linkage between natural hazards
and development Connecting developmental programs (DPAP,
NWDB) to disaster management Forecasting and warning (technology use) Contingency planning
Foodgrain availability Preparedness
Adaptive capacity by creating a management system
However, focus still on relief; recovery and adaptive capacity not thought through
