On 13 October, the global community celebrates the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, an opportunity to acknowledge the progress being made toward reducing disaster risk and losses in lives, livelihoods and health, while reminding the world that disaster risk is man made.
Shri H. J. Gajera Secondary & Higher Secondary school organised group discussion on disaster management on 13, October,2014.Students took part very enthusiastically in the group discussion of Disaster management.
GROUP DISCUSSION:
The main objective of the event is to know how the disaster preparedness which where followed by government will lessen the impact of disasters on vulnerable populations, to design a coordinated plan that reduces the waste of resources, time and efforts during tragic situations.
Some important points that are discussed in the Group Discussions are given below,
♦️In India, are many facilities in the disaster management but people are not utilising it properly.
♦️For the development of disaster management, not only government but also people have to join hands together in that process.
♦️In disaster management , we are lagging because of very less disaster management forces.
♦️In India,1.5 lakh people have been killed and 1.86 billion people were affected due to natural calamities.
♦️There are five phases of disaster management. They are Preparation, Mitigation, preparedness, Response and Recovery.
♦️Flood and cyclone are not only disasters, COVID-19 is also a kind of disaster. In airport, India took some preventive measures like temperature checking etc., for this crisis.
♦️Some incident like borewell incident, fire accidents are man made disasters. These are easy to prevent, but we are much careless about that and didn’t take much preventions.
Conclusion: India has effective management strategies, but that is not much enough to our population and locality. So, we should not blame about the government. The main responsibilities of the government is to assist the people and also the duty of us to help the government and fellow peoples when they are suffering. The government alone can’t help all the 133 crore people. All should come forward and help others.
