Before going through this topic I would like to ask question,

What is meant by disaster ?

• A disaster is a sudden event or occurrence that causes damage to life or property.
• Generally speaking ,there are two types of disasters : Man-made and natural.
• Some disasters are worse than others.

Natural Disasters:

• Natural disasters are catastrophic disasters that occur as a result of natural processes on the planet.
• Floods, storms, tsunamis, and earthquakes are just a few examples.
• Over the course of its 4.54 billion-year history, the earth has seen several natural disasters.

Man made Disasters:

• Man-made disaster means a disaster caused by acts of man .
• Including an act of war, terrorism, chemical spill or release, nuclear attacks etc.
• An attack by any enemy or foreign nation.

Disaster Management:

• Disaster management in India refers to conservation of lives and property during a natural or man-made disaster.
• Disaster management plans are multi-layered and are planned to address issues such as floods, hurricanes, fires.

National Disaster Management Authority (India) :

National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) is an agency of the Ministry of Home Affairs whose primary purpose is to coordinate response to natural or man-made disasters.

Conclusion :

• We can predict some natural disasters like :rain fall , storms ( eg : gaja storm , Varudha           storm etc.) with the help latest technology      satellites, it      saves many lives .

• We can’t predict some natural disasters like earthquake , tsunami etc.

• We can avoid man-made disasters like:

          Terrorism, Nuclear attacks etc. The solution for   these things are spreading the peace, ahimsah and love .

I would like to end up this session with a Quote of our father of our nation :

“Ahimsa means infinite love, which again means infinite capacity for suffering”
