Death of 3 million people
Economic loss increased due to
disaster like flood
In Indian scenario,
34million people affected per
year and 5116 death per year.
In US, economic loss is 400

Identification of dead
The type and quantity of humanitarian relief supplies are usually determined by two main factors : (1) the type of disaster, since distinct events have different effects on the population(2) the type and quantity of supplies available locally.
There are four principal components in managing humanitarian supplies: (a) acquisition of supplies (b) transportation(c) Storage (d) distribution.

DISASTER MITIGATION IN HEALTH SECTOR
Emergency prevention and mitigation involves measures designed either to
prevent hazards from causing emergency or to lessen the likely effects of
emergencies.
These measures include :-Flood Mitigation WorksAppropriate Land-use PlanningImproved Building Codes Reduction Or Protection Of Vulnerable Population And Structures.
Disaster preparedness
Emergency preparedness is “a programme of long term
development activities whose goals are to strengthen the overall
capacity and capability of a country to manage efficiently all types of emergency. It should bring about an orderly transition from relief through recovery, and back to
sustained development”.
The reasons of community preparedness are:-(a) Members of the community have the most to lose from being vulnerable to disasters and the most to gain from an effective and appropriate emergency preparedness programme(b) Those who first respond to an emergency come from within the community. When transport and communications are disrupted, an external emergency response may not arrive for days
(c) Resources is most easily pooled at the community level and every community possesses capabilities. Failure to exploit these capabilities is poor resource management
(d) Sustained development is best achieved by allowing emergency-affected communities to design, manage, and implement internal and external assistance programme.
Policy development The policy development is “the formal statement of a course of action”. Policy is strategic in nature and performs the following functions:a. establish long - term goals;b. assign responsibilities for achieving goals;c. establish recommended work practice; and d. determine criteria for decision making.
PERSONAL PROTECTION IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF EMERGENCIES
A number of measures must be observed by all persons in all types of emergency:- Do not use the telephone, except to call for help, so as to leave telephone lines free for the organization of response.- Listen to the messages broadcast by radio and the various media so as to be informed of development.- Carry out the official instructions given over the radio or by loudspeaker.- Keep a family emergency kit ready. In all the different types of emergency, it is better:- To be prepared than to get hurt;- To get information so as to get organized;- To wait rather than act too hastily.
