Mahipal Burdak

Abstract: Disaster management aims to decrease, or avoid the probable losses from hazards, assure quick and suitable assistance to victims of disaster, and achieve rapid and effective recovery. The Disaster management cycle demonstrates the ongoing process by which governments, businesses, Engineers and civil society plan for and reduce the influence of disasters, react during and instantly following a disaster, and take steps to recover after a disaster has happened. Appropriate actions at all points in the cycle lead to greater preparedness, better cautions, compact the vulnerability or the prevention of disasters during the next repetition of the cycle. The complete disaster management cycle includes the determining of public policies and plans that either adjust the causes of disasters or mitigate their effects on people, property, and infrastructure.
