The Disaster is the event that occurs without any prediction. The term ‘Disaster’ is loosely used to refer to as any incident, manmade accident, or natural occurrence that could affect the operation of the project in whatever way. We do not assess the impact of upcoming disaster. There are two type of disaster Natural and Manmade disaster. Disasters have adversely affected not only humans but also animals and all lives on earth. Disaster cause mass damage of construction or loss of economy. It gives very bad impact on the economy of the country. In the last decade, natural disasters claimed 79,000 lives each year and affected more than 200 million people, with damages amounting to almost US $ 70 billion annually. Disaster also affected to the climate, which also adversely affects local or regional climate. Today there is not any such develop technology which gives vulnerability of upcoming natural disaster. Manmade disaster causes through any big accident that occurs indoor or outdoor.
Disaster management is important for minimized the loss or lives and economy. ‘Disaster management can be defined as “The organization and management of resources and responsibilities for dealing with all humanitarian aspects of emergencies, in particular preparedness, response and recovery in order to lessen the impact of disasters”.
India is traditionally vulnerable to Disaster because natural disaster causes due to its unique geographical condition such as flood, drought, cyclone, earthquakes and landslides etc. and manmade disaster causes due to untrained or unskilled people work in prone areas. In the decade 1990-2000, an average about 4344 people lost their lives and about 30 million people were affected by disaster every year.(Ref: Govt. of India –A status Report Aug. 2004) .
The subject of industrial and chemical disasters has to be considered in the broader sense covering all the hazards/accidents and disasters occurring within industrial premises, related to industrial products and processes, and disasters/mishaps affecting industries and production.
Thus, it includes chemical, manufacturing, automobile, mining, power, agro-industries, waste handling, laboratories and research institutes, etc. focus of industrial disaster management has to stem with the philosophy of ‘zero tolerance’ and it means preventing and containing the trigger event or the hazards and vulnerability rather than only preparing for worst case scenarios. It requires an overhaul of the industrial risk management philosophy. There are following parts of disaster management projects:
Disaster management cycle includes the following stages/ phases:
