The earth which is the home of people is also been a home of natural hazards and when the
discipline of people are lacking the natural hazard can be a disaster, a disaster which cost a thousand of
lives and homes.
A change in social can be caused by disasters. Social change always is not for better depending on affected
population resources Change in disaster study started changing with theories like as Carr discussing a
cultural protection collapse. Some People made a discussion on how we got the tools in place encountering
the act of disasters though if there was lack of these tools there was no more protection.
Disaster is any occurrence that causes ecological disruption, damage, human life loss, health services and
health deterioration on sufficient scale to warrant response extraordinary from the outside area or
community affected. In addition, it can be also defined as the series or event which disrupts the normal
activities seriously. Disaster means a sudden or great misfortune. This may include tsunami; fires; floods;
droughts; flood and many others.
The major disasters naturally may include earthquake, cyclone, flood, and drought. Minor disasters
naturally include storm, heat waves, cold wave, mud slides, and thunderstorm. The major disasters that may
occur in manmade activities include deforestation, fires, setting of fires, and pollution due to their prawn
activities. Minor man made occurrence of disasters may include accidents on the roads or trains, riots,
industrial riots, food poisoning, and environmental pollution.
In history throughout disasters had some impacts significantly on the number, life style and health status of
the population such as death, shortage of food, movements of the population, damage of water systems and
the health facilities, and severe injuries which requires treatment extensive. Health problem that is common
to every disaster include mental health, social reactions, nutrition and food, climatic exposure, health
infrastructure damage, and population displacement.
Whether a disaster is manmade or natural, it can occur at anytime and anywhere. General response to any
disaster is thereby in terms of rescue and relief operations which are after the event. If we are well and
adequately prepared, it is very easy to reduce the impact of that disaster. There can be reduction of the
impact through being aware by understanding well the preventive actions, together with having knowledge
of particular tools and techniques; at the time of disaster event these tools and techniques can be used to
control total damage to belongings and life. The biggest problem and very sad thing is the way a disaster
occur; they occur with swiftness and suddenness hence, for a disaster serenity to be reduced, the response
has to be swift equally.
It is hard for a day to pass without news about complex or major emergency happening in different parts of
the world, as disasters continue to strike causing destruction to both developed and undeveloped countries.
This raises vulnerability concern to occurrences that may affect gravely our daily lives and the future. In
vulnerable populations, some emergency in particular those occurring in nature become catastrophic events
only when they are in combination with the vulnerability factors like populations density and the human
settlements.
An occurrence of earthquake in deserted area is might be considered as a natural hazard, rather than if it
occurred in mega city where it is recognized as major disaster. Any type of emergency that has anything to
do with vulnerability population together with manmade included, concerns some technological disasters
like the ones of chemicals or nuclear; these demonstrates complex and major emergencies are linked
closely to an anarchic growth population that leads to poverty, unplanned population settlements, and
environmental degradation.
Disasters themselves have no limitation to specific parts of world. There are no countries that are disaster
immune, but there is variance in disaster vulnerability. However, some countries might be more prone to a
particular type of disaster. The more advanced a country is, the level of their preparedness is slightly
higher. High level of preparedness enhances them have good control over loss. Some disasters where loss
during actual event is not required as high, hence losses become a bit high due to the inability in managing
the situation in a timed manner.
Another thing that might lead to a big loss during certain disasters is the secure utilities and properly
manages inability. In one way these utilities tend to be very important, and on the other hand, due to
ruptures or leakage, some of them might be in contact with each other, where they are not supposed to
therefore leading to further damage. The most important thing and the most motivation of disaster
management are minimizing losses at disaster time together with ensuring that resources are utilized
effectively; as they are scarce already.
The major disasters naturally may include earthquake, cyclone, flood, and drought. Minor disasters
naturally include storm, heat waves, cold wave, mud slides, and thunderstorm. The major disasters that may
occur in manmade activities include deforestation, fires, setting of fires, and pollution due to their prawn
activities. Minor man made occurrence of disasters may include accidents on the roads or trains, riots,
industrial riots, food poisoning, and environmental pollution.
There are four types of disaster mainly. These include environmental emergencies, natural disasters,
pandemic disasters, and complex disasters. Disaster prevention is activities that are designed for provision
of permanent disasters protection. Not every disaster can be prevented and particularly natural disasters; the
loss risk of injury and life can be only mitigated with plans of good evacuation, design standards and
environmental planning.
Disaster preparedness is activities for life loss and damage. Preparedness is the best way of reducing
disasters impact. Disaster relief is a multi-agency coordinated response of reducing disaster impact and its
results of long-term. These activities may include relocation, rescue, water and food provision, preventing
disability and disease, repair of vital services like transport, provision of temporary shelter and health care
emergency.
Once the needs of emergency has been accomplished and the crisis is initially over, those affected together
with the community supporting them remain vulnerable. Management of disaster is linked with the
development sustainably, in particular with vulnerable people relation like the ones with disability,
children, elderly people and groups marginalized.
