An
opportunity to pro actively integrate your abilities for Disaster Mitigation and
management of Disasters through collective learning and preparedness in a
relevant way. Online Ongoing Alert Network for coordinated
response Preparedness and for Times of
Disasters
Context:
To start the provision
of an effective, accurate, genuine and timely information network on a
24x7 relief and rehabilitation mode for emergencies and ongoing response for the
development sector.
India has been
traditionally vulnerable to natural disasters on account of its unique
geo-climatic conditions. Floods, droughts, cyclones, earthquakes and landslides
have been recurrent phenomena. About 60% of the landmass is prone to earthquakes
of various intensities; over 40 million hectares is prone to floods; about 8% of
the total area is prone to cyclones and 68% of the area is susceptible to
drought. In the decade 1990-2000, an average of about 4344 people lost their
lives and about 30 million people were affected by disasters every year. The
loss in terms of private, community and public assets has been astronomical.
At the global
level, there has been considerable concern over natural disasters. Even as
substantial scientific and material progress is made, the loss of lives and
property due to disasters has not decreased. In fact, the human toll and
economic losses have mounted. It was in this background that the United Nations
General Assembly, in 1989, declared the decade 1990-2000 as the International
Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction with the objective to reduce loss of lives
and property and restrict socio-economic damage through concerted international
action, especially in developing countries.
The super cyclone
in Orissa in October, 1999, the Bhuj earthquake in Gujarat in January, 2001 and
Tsunami disaster of December 26th 2004 covering several countries of north
Indian Ocean and various States/UTs of India underscored the need to adopt a
multi dimensional endeavour involving diverse scientific, engineering, financial
and social processes; the need to adopt multi disciplinary and multi sectoral
approach and incorporation of risk reduction in the developmental plans and
strategies.
The Government of
India have brought about a paradigm shift in the approach to disaster
management. The new approach proceeds from the conviction that development
cannot be sustainable unless disaster mitigation is built into the development
process. Another corner stone of the approach is that mitigation has to be
multi-disciplinary spanning across all sectors of development. It also emanates
from the belief that investments in mitigation are much more cost effective than
expenditure on relief and rehabilitation.
Disaster
management occupies an important place in this country’s policy framework as it
is the poor and the under-privileged who are worst affected on account of
calamities/disasters. Government organizations, international and Indian
agencies are providing financial assistance and working in close coordination
for disaster management.
