Disaster Management, 2ed

Description

Disasters bring with them desolation, destruction, and gloom. Knowledge about various disasters and methods to overcome them is essential for their effective management. There is a phenomenal increase in the number of disasters but still, we are far behind in tackling them effectively. The old methods of disaster management encompassing just response and recovery aspects have to be replaced with more systematic and scientifically proven methods. This book, Disaster Management, is an attempt to systematically arrange the learnings and experiences to manage disasters.
