- W2742454435 abstract "Disasters have become serial killers of humanity, and with the growth of population, mankind is becoming increasingly vulnerable. Disasters are not limited to territorial geography of a nation; it has the potential to cause sufferings to millions of people across the region, and the casualties during disaster can be due to injuries, starvation, epidemic, deaths, psychological de-arrangement of the people and destruction of life support system. It is possible to restrict the collateral damages with improved technology for forecasting, warning and swift actions by the government and civil society. Population can be trained, psychologically prepared and relocated prior to the disaster or whenever danger to lives is imminent. The past experience suggests that disasters kill lesser people, but poor infrastructure and ignorance to deal with the calamity kill more number of humans. There is a need to respect sense of geography and sense of history when it comes to the disasters. The empirical studies can outline the nature of disasters in a geographical limit which have caused havoc in the past; it can suggest periodicity of disasters, triggers and scales of destruction. Nature, people and the government invariably are either responsible or victims of the disasters. It is desirable that community awareness programmes relating to disasters and impact of unsustainable development on environment ideally should be debated, discussed and disseminated to the affected section of population. Institutional mechanisms, respect for environmental laws, traditional wisdom, use of technology and drills and procedures to deal with wide-ranging natural and man-made disasters need to be practised and put in place. In the race for development people often forget about the preparation for disasters. There are large number of built-up areas in the mountains as well as in the plains where there are no road communication to gain access into the heavily congested areas. Such unplanned infrastructure development precludes access of fire tender and heavy machinery in case of disasters. In the light of the above facts, infrastructure must be developed in such a manner that is disaster resistant and facilitate access of equipment and heavy machinery during crisis. Prevention and disaster relief are collective responsibility of the government and society." @default.
