3. Prevention and Mitigation
 Prevention and mitigation of disasters need basic
understanding about the phenomenon/event;
knowledge of what to do before the event;
knowledge of what to do during the event; and
knowledge of what to do after the event.
 All the disasters can not be mitigated or be
prevented. People have to adapt to earthquake and
volcanic eruption as science has not evolved to
mitigate or prevent such disasters.
 But climate related disasters can mitigated or be
prevented.

4. Prevention
 Prevention was recently added to the phases of
disaster management. It focuses on preventing the
human hazard, primarily from potential natural
disasters.
 Preventive measures are taken on both the domestic
and international levels, designed to provide
permanent protection from disasters.
 Not all disasters, particularly natural disasters, can
be prevented, but the risk of loss of life and injury
can be mitigated with good evacuation plans,
environmental planning and design standards.

5. Mitigation
 Preventive or mitigation measures take different forms for
different types of disasters. In earthquake prone areas, these
preventive measures might include structural changes such as
the installation of an earthquake valve to instantly shut off
the natural gas supply, and the securing of items inside a
building.
 In flood prone areas, houses can be built on poles/stilts.
 In areas prone to electricity black-outs installation of
a generator ensures continuation of electrical service.
 The construction of storm cellars and fallout shelters are
further examples of personal mitigative action.

6. Early Warning System
 Early warning is a major element of disaster risk
reduction. It prevents loss of life and reduces the
economic and material impact of disasters.
 Early warning is a major element of disaster risk
reduction. Early action can often prevent a hazard
turning into a human disaster by preventing loss of
life and reducing the economic and material
impacts. To be effective and sustainable they must
actively involve the communities at risk.

8.  Early warning systems can be set up to avoid or reduce
the impact of hazards such as floods, landslides,
storms, and forest fires. The significance of an
effective early warning system lies in the recognition
of its benefits by local people.
 HOW TO INCREASE EWS???
 To be effective, early warning systems need to
actively facilitate public education and awareness
of risks, effectively disseminate alerts, and
warnings and ensure there is constant state of
preparedness.
 Developing early warning systems that can be
managed by local communities and have long-term
sustainability built into their design and operation

9. (CONT.)
 Working with District Authorities and other
stakeholders to promote policy and practice of EWS.
 Demonstrating and promoting community-managed
disaster mitigation, including training and awareness
raising on natural disasters and risk

10. PREPAREDNESS
 Preparedness focuses on preparing equipment and
procedures for use when a disaster occurs. This
equipment and these procedures can be used to reduce
vulnerability to disaster, to mitigate the impacts of a
disaster or to respond more efficiently in an emergency.
 Step 1. Setting of control room
 2. Setting of wireless station
 3. Constitution of flood zones
 4. Awareness generation
 5. Mock drill
 6. Provision of rescue kits
 7. Relief camp

11.  Step 8. Alternative communication
and road net works
 9. Arrangement materials for
temporary shelter
And the most important :
“ Development of disaster
management plan”

12. Capacity Development
 Capacity development is the process through which
individuals, organizations and societies obtain,
strengthen and maintain the capabilities to set and
achieve their own development objectives over time.
 and group, growth of a society and nation Capacity is
about growth: growth of the individual in knowledge,
skills and experience. Growth of the group that
surrounds this individual as these skills and
knowledge are passed on. And from this individual .
