Study Notes

Disaster Management Cycle Phases

Four main phases: Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, Recovery.

Timely Decision Making Benefits

Quick actions enhance effectiveness in each phase, potentially reducing disaster impact and improving recovery outcomes.

Complete Disaster Management Cycle

Encompasses all stages: hazard identification, risk analysis, planning, implementation, evaluation, and modification.

Conventional vs. Contemporary Disaster Management

Conventional focuses on reactive measures post-disaster, while contemporary emphasizes preparedness, resilience, and community involvement.

Purpose of the Disaster Management Cycle

Aims to systematically address risks and enhance community preparedness, response capability, and recovery efforts.

Purpose of Risk Management

To identify, assess, and prioritize risks, ensuring proactive measures are implemented to minimize potential impacts.

Cyclical Process in Disaster Management

Described as constant iteration through the phases to improve outcomes and adapt strategies based on past experiences.

Initial Action Phase in Emergency Management

The Response phase involves immediate actions taken as a disaster occurs, focusing on saving lives and property protection.

Recovery Aims in Emergency Management

Seeks to restore and improve affected communities, focusing on mental and physical health, infrastructure, and economic stability.

Focus of Mitigation in Risk Management

Concentrates on reducing risks and impacts of disasters through strategic planning and implementation of prevention measures.

Activities in Response Phase of Emergency Management

Includes emergency services mobilization, communication efforts, resource distribution, and public safety measures.

Timing of Response in Emergency Management

Commences as soon as a disaster event is detected or begins, requiring immediate action and coordination.

Minimization Measures Term

Refers to mitigation measures, which are strategies designed to lessen the effects of disasters.

Prevention in Emergency Management

Involves proactive measures, policies, and education aimed at reducing the likelihood of disaster occurrence.

Activities Included in 'Response'

Encompasses search and rescue, emergency medical assistance, shelter provision, and communication with affected populations.
