 Disaster Management
 Disaster management refers to the efficient management of resources and
responsibilities that will help in lessening the impact of the disaster.
 It involves a well-planned plan of action so we can make effective efforts to
reduce the dangers caused by the disaster to a minimum.
 Disaster management has a total of four stages :
1. Mitigation
2. Preparedness
3. Response
4. Recovery
