Hi Shekhar, I suggest that you consider creating a "Disaster Management" portal page for developing OER on this important theme. Keep the main list posted on what you're trying to do. Here are some instructions on how to create a portal page on WikiEducator:
http://wikieducator.org/Create_and_institutional_OER_portal_page (Instead of an institution - -create your hub around "Disaster Management" or something similar. A good starting point could be a search to find out if there are any existing OERs on the theme (Licensed as CC-BY or CC-BY-SA). WIth your passion and significance of the this topic - -I'm sure that WE can build a thriving hub. Keep up the good work!
