About the Book: Trends in Disaster Management
The disasters usually occur in the well defined areas, even though the community
does not know the coping mechanism for the disaster. The disaster mitigation
programmes must be extensively taken up covering various aspects at national
level to minimize the disaster damages. There should be a greater emphasis on
development of new technologies in disaster mitigation. The disaster
preparedness and awareness is the only effective way of mitigating the impact of
future disasters. The book contains fourteen papers on different aspects of
disaster management.
