Question
Answer the following question in brief:
Why is disaster management important?
Solution
A disaster – (natural or man-made) can strike anytime without warning. The disaster management is important because the geographical location and landscape of India expose it to earthquakes and many kinds of weather-related disasters. In a developing country like India, usually the poor suffer the most. Therefore, it is extremely important for the government, the people, and social organizations to be prepared with proper plans and arrangements to face any kind of disaster. Proper and prior planning can help in limiting and minimizing damages and losses resulting from any disaster – natural or man-made.
