This document discusses the disaster management cycle which includes mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Mitigation aims to minimize disaster impacts through prevention and protection activities. Preparedness involves planning response efforts. Response refers to minimizing hazards during a disaster through immediate aid. Recovery returns the community to normal by restoring services and rebuilding infrastructure over the long term. The cycle aims to reduce disaster impacts and facilitate swift recovery through organized preparation and coordination between organizations.
3. ï‚ž Disaster Management:
It can be defined as the organization and
management of resources and responsibilities
for dealing with all humanitarian aspects of
emergencies,particular , preparedness,
Response and recovery in order to lessen the
impact of disasters.
5. ï‚ž Mitigation - Minimizing the effects of
disaster.
ï‚ž Preparedness - Planning how to respond.
ï‚ž Response - Efforts to minimize the hazards
created by a disaster.
ï‚ž Recovery - Returning the community to
normal.
6. ï‚ž Mitigation reduces the impact of disasters
by supporting protection and prevention
activities, easing response, and speeding
recovery to create better prepared and
more resilient communities
ï‚ž There are two types of mitigation:
(1) Structural mitigation
(2) NON-Structural mitigation
7.  Structural mitigation – construction projects
which reduce economic and social impacts
ï‚ž i.e. dams, windbreaks, terracing and hazard
resistant buildings.
9.  Non-structural activities – policies and
practices which raise awareness of hazards
or encourage developments to reduce the
impact of disasters
ï‚ž i.e:Public awareness
ï‚¢ different types of insurance
ï‚¢ family plans for some emergency situation
10. ï‚ž Planning, training, & educational activities
for things that cant be mitigated.
ï‚ž During the preparedness phase of the DM
cycle measures are taken to reduce the
minimum level possible, of loss in human life
and other damage, through the organization
of prompt and efficient actions of response
and rehabilitation such as practicing
earthquake and fire drills.
11. ï‚ž They also involve planning, organizing,
training, interaction with other organizations
and related agencies, resource inventory,
allocation and placement, and plan testing.
12. ï‚ž Preparedness measures include:
ï‚ž I. Preparedness plans
ï‚ž II. Emergency training
ï‚ž III. Warning systems
ï‚ž IV. Emergency communications systems
ï‚ž V. Public information/education
15. ï‚ž The immediate aftermath of a disaster, when
business is not as usual.
ï‚ž The response phase includes the mobilization
of the necessary emergency services and first
responders in the disaster area
ï‚ž This is likely to include a first wave of core
emergency services, such as fire-fighters,
police and ambulance crews.
17. ï‚ž Healthcare intervention response starts
here
ï‚ž The focus in the response phase is
on meeting the basic needs of the victims
until sustainable community has been
achieved.
ï‚ž It also may involve initial repairs to
damaged infrastructure.
18. ï‚ž Response activities are post activities geared
towards:
ï‚ž Providing emergency assistance
ï‚ž Speeding recovery operations
ï‚ž Returning systems to normal level
ï‚ž Reducing probability of additional injuries or
damage
20. ï‚ž The long-term aftermath of a disaster, when
restoration efforts are in addition to regular
services.
ï‚ž The aim of the recovery phase is to restore
the affected area to its previous state.
ï‚ž e.g. lifelines, health and communication
facilities, as well as utility systems
21. ï‚ž the beginning of the repair of physical, social
and economic damage
ï‚ž continued health monitor and care,
reconstruction of vital facilities
ï‚ž counseling programs
ï‚ž grants, and it may include economic impact
studies.
24. ï‚ž We can coclude from the disaster
management cycle how to reduce the effect
of disater,preparation for disaster, after
disaster how to response and get recovery.
