2. DISASTER A disaster is a sudden, calamitous event that
seriously disrupts the functioning of a community or society and
causes human, material, and economic or environmental losses
that exceed the community’s or society’s ability to cope using its
own resources. Mostly disasters are caused by natural termed as
natural disasters but sometimes they have human origins and
they are called as man made disasters.
3. TYPES OF NATURAL DISASTERS ► Earthquakes ► Cyclones ►
Tsunami ► Flood ► Landslide ► Strom(Sand/Wind/Snow) ►
Forest fires ► Drought ► Avalanche ► Volcano
4. DEVELOPMENTS IN DISASTER MANAGEMENT High Powered
Committee set up in August 1999. Until 2001 – Responsibility with
Agriculture Ministry. Transferred to Ministry of Home A!airs in
June 2002. National Disaster Management Authority established
28th September 2005. Inclusion of Disaster Management in the
Seventh Schedule of the Constitution. On 23 December, 2005,
Disaster Management Act .
5. CYCLONE AMPHAN ₪ Cyclone Amphan, hit West Bengal on
May 20 claiming 86 lives so far and a!ecting over 10 million
people in the eastern Indian state. The powerful storm ripped
through eastern India and neighboring Bangladesh. ₪ The storm
in West Bengal caused massive damage to standing crops,
thousands of trees were uprooted, and power and water supply
was interrupted in the state capital Kolkata. Many in the state
have lost their entire homes as well.
6. CYCLONE AMPHAN’S PATH
7. ₪ According to the Regional Meteorological Centre at Alipore
in Kolkata, the landfall started at 2.30 p.m. and continued till 7
p.m. The landfall was reported near Sagar Island of the
Sunderbans between Digha in Purba Medinipur and Hatia in
Bangladesh. ₪ Wind speeds of 150-160 km per hour were
recorded in the coastal areas a"er the cyclone made a landfall. In
Kolkata, wind speeds of 112 km per hour were recorded. ₪ Heavy
rainfall was reported across all districts of south Bengal. The
super cyclone was one of the fiercest the State has witnessed in
recent years — more powerful than Bulbul (2019) and Aila (2009).
8. ₪ Three persons were killed as super cyclonic storm Amphan
made landfall near Sagar Islands in South 24 Parganas district of
West Bengal on Wednesday, while a baby died in Bhadrak district
of Odisha and a woman drowned in Kendrapara. ₪ Thousands of
kutcha houses in the coastal parts of West Bengal were damaged.
Embankments were breached in the low-level areas because of
the massive storm surge. Preliminary reports said one person
each died in Minakha and Basirhat of North 24 Parganas district
and a third in Howrah.
9. ASSAM FLOODS ₪ Heavy rainfall and flooding of the
Brahmaputra river in May came at a heavy cost for Assam with
casualties and widespread destruction of property and
agriculture. ₪ The floods in Assam this year a!ected more than
50 lakh people, as per reports. As many as 123 people lost their
lives in the floods while 26 died due to landslides. ₪ More than
1.5 lakh people had to seek refuge in camps as residents in 5,474
villages su!ered flooding.
10. ₪ The flooding began just before harvest season and caused
destruction to more than 267,203 hectares of crops and more
than 45,000 domesticated animals were either forced to flee or
were abandoned. ₪ While Northeast India is known for receiving
heavy rainfall, in the past few years flooding has gotten severe.
Though the rainfall in the region has declined, the number of
extreme rainfall events has increased leading to annual flooding.
11. ₪ As of July 15, the 30 Assam districts that are hit by floods
include Hojai, Dhemaji, Lakhimpur, Biswanath, Sonitpur,
Udalguri, Darrang, Baksa, Nalbari, Barpeta, Chirang, Bongaigaon,
Kokrajhar, Dhubri, South Salmara, Goalpara, Kamrup, Kamrup
Metropolitan, Morigaon, Nagaon, West Karbi Anglong, Golaghat,
Jorhat, Majuli, Sivasagar, Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, Karbi Anglong,
Cachar and Charaideo.
12. ₪ The rapidly rising water level has also inundated the
Kaziranga National Park, home to the world’s largest
concentration of one-horned rhinoceros, with an estimated 2,500
out of a total population of some 3,000 of the animals. ₪ “Nine
rhinos have drowned and over 100 other animals have been
killed,” said Assam’s agriculture minister Atul Bora. Sixty other
animals (36 hog deer, eight rhinos, three wild bu!alo, one
python, seven wild boar, two swamp deer, one Sambar and two
porcupines) have so far died due to drowning, according to state
government.
13. ₪ On July 24, President Ram Nath Kovind spoke to Assam
Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal over the flood situation and
expressed solidarity with the a!ected people of the state. ₪ As of
July 26, according to the State Disaster Management Authority,
Barpeta, Dibrugarh, Kokrajhar, Bongaigaon, Tinsukia are worst hit
by the floods in the state.
14. CONCLUSION Natural disasters are natural. They cannot
be stopped but the vulnerability can be reduced. While no
country in world is entirely safe lack of capacity to limit the
impact of hazards remains a major burden for developing
countries, An estimated 97% of natural disaster related deaths
each year occur in developing countries although smaller in
absolute figure, the percentage of economic loss in relation to the
GNP (Gross National Product) In developing countries far exceeds
the one in developed countries.
