disaster e.g., earthquake, flood, cyclone etc.
2.Man-made disaster: A disaster caused due to the human activitie

WHAT IS VULNERABILITY AND RISK

• Vulnerability describes the TV re and circumstances of a community, system


or asset that make it susceptible to the damaging effects of a hazard. There are
many aspects of vulnerability, arising from various physical, social,
economic, and environmental factors. Examples may include: poor design and
construction of buildings, inadequate protection of assets, lack of public
information awareness, limited official recognition of risks and preparedness
measures, and disregard for wise environmental management
• There are four types of vulnerability
• 1.physical vulnerability.
• 2. Social vvulnerabilit
• 3. economical vulnerability
• 4. Environmental vulnerability
• Risk It considers the probability of harmful consequences, or expected losses
(deaths, injuries, property, livelihoods, economic activity disrupted or
environmentally damaged) resulting from interactions between natural or
human induced hazards and vulnerable conditions. Risk can be calculated
using the following equation: Risk Probability of Hazard x Degree of
Vulnerability.
• There are different ways of dealing with risk, such
• 1. Risk Acceptance
• 2.Risk Avoidance.
• 3.Risk Reduction.
• 4.Risk Transfer
• DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

PREVENTION AND MIGRATION OF MAN MADE
DISASTERS
• Prevention from man made distraction.
• 1.Manmade disasters are preventable. If the buildings are constructed according to the prescribed by-
laws, there would be no collapses. Similarly, if fire fighting equipment’s have been installed and safety
routes provided, even when fire breaks out, the damage to human beings would be minimal.
2.Sticking to rules is most important for installations like nuclear power plants. International
agreements already exist. What is needed is that nations stick to resolve like not making and storing
weapons of mass destruction. Factories Act prescribes safety conditions. If all manufactures adhere to
those safety measures, there would be fewer industrial accidents.
3.Natural disasters may not be averted under all conditions. But the human misery that is caused can
definitely be minimized. If we are prepared for a disaster, there would be minimum suffering and losses.
Disasters like floods wiped off entire civilizations like the one in Indus Valley
• MIGRATION FORM MAN MADE . DISASTERS
• Disaters can take place through deliberate actions of misguided human
beings. Terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir are an example of ma-
made disasters. Switzerland has plenty of lakes. All children acquire
swimming skills in early childhood.
• A society that an endure the effects of a calamity by proper disaster
management is referred to as a disaster- resilient society. Such a society has
both disaster prevention and disaster management plans at hand. The
horrors of Atomic bombing of the cities of Hiro- shima and Nagasaki in
Japan during August 1945 are still fresh in human memory.s ..
FIRE IN HIGH RISE BUILDINGS IN INDIA

• Most big cities now have high rise buildings. A great majority of them do
not meet fire fighting specifications. In case of an accidental fire, use of
water has to be avoided in case the fire has been caused due to kerosene or
petroleum product spill. Sand should be used to cover the flames.
• Persons trapped should be taken out with the rescuing person covered in wet
blanket. The job is best left to professional fire fighters-men the fire Brigade.
It is important to have instructions regarding how to act in case of fire
displayed all over the campus.
