Disasters have long been considered an apocalypse for humankind and all other species. However, the rising instances of disasters due to anthropogenic reasons have brought disaster management to the centre of focus, in order to mitigate losses and reduce the impact of such havoc. This requires, first, a comprehensive assessment of risks and vulnerabilities associated with it, and then working on multi-faceted fronts to enhance the effectiveness of disaster control and disaster-related response.
The Disaster Management book from The Study by Manikant Sir is a reflection of the same approach, where, first, you are introduced to the idea of why the notion of anthropogenic causes— not only for man-made but also for natural disasters—came into focus. This book provides a holistic account of a wide range of disasters, whether man-made or natural, along with the measures essential in the form of institutional frameworks, legal frameworks, international standards, best practices, etc.
This book is not just a journey that the reader undertakes, but one that leads them towards a deeper understanding of the subject. It also makes the reading experience engaging by incorporating references from various sources, thereby enriching it.
