• Disaster philosophy
• Disasters should not be treated as fear factors only.
• Disasters do happen but we can save ourselves from them by
careful planning.
• Disasters themselves are not so dangerous as the infrastructure
failures we have.
• Mitigation for new structures and retrofit in old structures is the
solution to pacify fury of disasters.
• Preparedness make us strong to deal with the disaster but the
approach should be holistic.
• Community preparedness at field level is always an efficient
exercise in dealing with any type of disaster.
• Government and nongovernment efforts too in preparedness
must always be considered respectfully.
• Disaster awareness is the best solution to deal with it.

Awareness
• During 2004, ten-year old Tilly Smith of Surrey,
England, was on Maikhao beach in Phuket,
Thailand with her parents and sister, and having
learned about tsunamis recently in school, told her
family that a tsunami might be imminent.
• Her parents warned others minutes before the
wave arrived, saving dozens of lives.
• She credited her geography teacher, Andrew
Kearney.

MAJOR APPROACHES ON DISASTER MANAGEMENT
1. GEOGRAPHICAL APPROACH (H.B Girbut and f White)
• Chronological distribution of disasters
• Impact and vulnerability
• Spatio-temporal factors
2. ANTHROPOLOGICAL APPROACH
• Community oriented approach
• Focus on role of disasters,
• It guides socio-economic evolution of population of a civilisation
• Search for threshold points for local communities beyond which community fails to provide basic requirement of survial of their members.

Cyclones Hurricanes Typhoons • 'Cyclone' is the generic term for cyclones, hurricanes and
typhoons. • It is a violent storm, often of vast extent, characterized by
high winds rotating about a calm center of low atmospheric pressure. This center moves onward, often with a velocity of twenty or thirty miles an hour
• These tropical storms tend to be called cyclones in the southern hemisphere and they rotate in a clockwise direction.
• In the northern hemisphere, where cyclones occur in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean, they are called hurricanes and those in the South China Sea and regions of Asia are called typhoons. Northern hemisphere cyclones rotate anti-clockwise.

FLOODS
Floods are caused due to multiple factors as:
• Cyclones
• Tsunami
• Heavy to heavy rains
• Sudden or short notice release of excess of water from dams
• Bad drainage system not allowing flood water entered in city to discharge out. This situation normally arises in cities due to damaged and over aged drainage-system.
• Densely situated slums in low line areas close to sea or rivers.

Tsunami • Tsunami means Harbour waves in Japanese's language • Series of tsunamis is called ‘Tsunami train’. • Earth quake, Volcano explosions, land slides or bolides can
cause Tsunami which is frequent in Japan. • Overriding tectonic plate bulges under strain, causing
tectonic uplift. • Subducting of plates can also cause tsunami. • Plate slips, cause subsidence and release energy into water. • Upward thrust causes increase in sea level and tsunami is
caused by the displacement of a substantial volume of water or perturbation of the sea.
• This displacement of water is usually attributed to either earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, or more rarely by meteorites and nuclear tests.
![Page 34: Disaster management an awareness i by p.n.rao20 may13](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060116/557d4bfad8b42a9c148b4d19/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

• The waves formed in this way are then sustained by gravity.
• Increase of wavelength of tidal waves cause high tides at shores of over 30 meters of ht.
• If the first part of a tsunami to reach land is a trough (drawback) rather than a wave crest, the water along the shoreline recedes dramatically, exposing normally submerged areas.
• A drawback occurs because the water propagates outwards with the trough of the wave at its front.
• Drawback begins before the wave arrives at an interval equal to half of the wave's period.
• Drawback can exceed hundreds of metres, and people unaware of the danger sometimes remain near the shore to satisfy their curiosity or to collect fish from the exposed seabed, get trapped in it.

24 December, 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami
• During the Indian Ocean tsunami, the sea withdrew and many people went onto the exposed sea bed out of curiosity and very few survived.
• Drawbacks can serve as a brief warning. People who observe drawback (many survivors reported an accompanying sucking sound), can survive only if they immediately run for high ground or seek the upper floors of nearby buildings.
• Bubbles forming at shore and away inside the sea also indicate tsunami warning.
• In the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami drawback was not reported on the African coast or any other eastern coasts it reached. This was because the wave moved downwards on the eastern side of the fault line and upwards on the western side. The western pulse hit coastal Africa and other western areas.
• Animals and birds also behave differently to warn Tsunami or cyclones.
• Forests ,mangroves and trees planted coastline saved few villages during Dec 2004 Indian pacific tsunami.
• Japan has siren system and people are aware of it.
• DART tsunami warning system is functioning efficiently

• Methyl isocyanate was one of the fatal toxins used in pesticide production.
• Its being little lighter than water but twice as heavy as air, when escaped into the atmosphere it blanketed the ground covering many innocents.
• It had the ability to react with water acids, metals, and the small deposits of corrosive materials accumulated in pipes, tanks, and valves.

• Clogged pipes with rusted joints
• It was a disaster of low possibility with high consequence

• Nitrogen layer was protective layer on top of MIC stored.
