Disaster management is important because it aims to ensure an effective and coordinated response to disasters. Through work to save lives and reduce the impact of crises on affected communities, disaster management is fundamental to timely and effectual assistance to disaster hit people.

WHY STUDY DISASTER MANAGEMENT 

Improves Response Management

The first reason why disaster management is important is because it oversees the response to a disaster. Disaster management coordinates all aspects of disaster response aiming to effectively mobilise the required equipment, resources, staff and aid needed to assist people affected by disasters. Control and oversight of a disaster response is a big reason disaster management is vital.

Imbeds Coordination of Actors

Disaster management is important because it is key to coordinating different actors within a response. Disaster zones are highly complex and often confusing environments. Good coordination between disaster responders is vital to ensure effective assistance to disaster hit communities. Having people skilled in disaster management is vital to make sure responders work together and coordinate their efforts.

Ensures Effective Liaison

When a disaster hits, one of the major actors is the local and national government responsible for the area. Disaster management is important because it establishes how responders should liaise with these authorities. Failure to enshrine effective liaison into an actor’s disaster response can significantly reduce its ability to assist people.

Improves Management of Resources

Resources are a kay part of disaster responses and managing them effectively is crucial to success. Disaster management is important because it governs how resources should be used in a disaster zone so as to maximise their effectiveness and limit wastage. Well managed disaster responses allocate resources as needed and this is a vital reason for having trained disaster managers.

Coordinates Disaster Preparedness

Preparedness is one of the most important parts of disaster management. Disaster preparedness covers the planning measures taken before a crisis hits to ensure quick and effective responses. The aim is to assess vulnerabilities, analyse potential threats and develop mitigations to limit the impact of disasters.  Preparedness is a huge reason why disaster management is important.

Ensures Lessons Are Learnt

Many areas that are hit by disasters are struck more than once. There are some communities that are especially vulnerable to disasters. Disaster management is important because it means that responses to previous disasters are learnt from, and communities can utilise this knowledge to develop improved future responses to disasters.

It Saves Lives

The final, and perhaps most important reason why disaster management is vital is that it saves lives. Strong disaster management improves an emergency response, meaning actors can assist affected people better. The overall aim of disaster management is to save lives and limit the impact of crises on people and this is a major reason why it is important.

 


Environmental studies is a multidisciplinary academic field which systematically studies human interaction with the environment. ... It is a broad field of study that includes the natural environment, the built environment, and the relationship between them.

The importance of environmental science and environmental studies cannot be disputed. The need for sustainable development is a key to the future of mankind. Continuing problems of pollution, loss of forget, solid waste disposal, degradation of environment, issues like economic productivity and national security, Global warming, the depletion of ozone layer and loss of biodiversity have made everyone aware of environmental issues. The United Nations Coference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janerio in 1992 and world Summit on Sustainable Development at Johannesburg in 2002 have drawn the attention of people around the globe to the deteriorating condition of our environment. It is clear that no citizen of the earth can afford to be ignorant of environment issues. Environmental management has captured the attention of health care managers. Managing environmental hazards has become very important. Human beings have been interested in ecology since the beginning of civilization. Even our ancient scriptures have emphasized about practices and values of environmental conservation. It is now even more critical than ever before for mankind as a whole to have a clear understanding of environmental concerns and to follow sustainable development practices. India is rich in biodiversity which provides various resources for people. It is also basis for biotechnology.

Only about 1.7 million living organisms have been diescribed and named globally. Still manay more remain to be identified and described. Attempts are made to II conserve them in ex-situ and in-situ situations. Intellectual property rights (IPRs) have become importanat in a biodiversity-rich country like India to protect microbes, plants and animals that have useful genetic properties. Destruction of habitats, over-use of energy resource and environmental pollution have been found to be responsible for the loss of a large number of life-forms. It is feared that a large proportion of life on earth may get wiped out in the near future. Inspite of the deteriorating status of the environment, study of environment have so far not received adequate attention in our academic programmes. Recognizing this, the Hon’ble Supreme Court directed the UGC to introduce a basic course on environment at every level in college education. Accordingly, the matter was considered by UGC and it was decided that a six months compulsory core module course in environmental studies may be prepared and compulsorily implemented in all the University/Colleges of India.
