Topics/Themes for Project Work on Disaster Management

CLASS X
Do any one of the following:-

Project 1_ Role of Govt./Non-Government functionaries in your

locality in Disaster Management.

Interview any two of the Govt. /Non-Government functionaries in your locality on

their role in Disaster Management.

 Senior District Magistrate

 Additional District Magistrate
 Sarpanch/MP/MLA
 Head of any NGO working in your locality – dealing in Disaster
Management
 Police inspector, Superintendent of Police
 Civil Defence Warden/elected representatives
 Home guard personnel
 NCC Commandant in the school
 Deputy Commissioner of Municipality
 School Principal

Carry out a survey by enquiring from at least 20 persons from different walks
of life (such as shopkeepers, housewives, senior citizens, college students,
etc.) in your locality on the hazards prevalent, and preventive measures they
have taken or would like to take to reduce the impact.

Prepare a Survey report highlighting the areas where awareness is needed

and the local resources available in the locality to create awareness.
 Select any two of the functionaries based on their availability in that city/town.
This topic can be taken up individually by students or by a group consisting of
two students. In case of group work where two students are involved, work
should be divided equally so that distribution of marks is easier.

Project 2: Generating Awareness on Disaster Management

Design a 10 minute skit on Disaster Management.

Design posters on do’s and don'ts of various hazards prevalent in that area.
Visit a slum community and enact the skit by using the posters. The Skit and the posters
can also be used to make the junior students aware.

Better awareness and preparedness amongst the community members have

saved a lot of life and property. As responsible future citizens of the country,
students can play a major role in awaking the community to be better prepared
for natural hazards (flood, cyclone, landslide, tsunami etc) and human induced
hazards (fire, rail road and air accidents ). Local language should be used so that
the community is able to have a better understanding.

PROJECT 3 - Preparation of Models of Disaster Resilient Structures

Make layouts of models based on structural improvement in buildings in a rural/
urban community in coastal areas prone to floods/cyclones or in areas prone to
earthquakes/landslides. Show the special features of the buildings and indicate the
early warning system that could be best used in that community.
To carry out the project, there is a need to have a good understanding about the
subject. The class X textbook on Disaster Management will help the students to
have a fair understanding about the topic. However, seek support from qualified
engineers, and architects who have knowledge on safe construction practices
from either the Government or private sector and also from academic institutions.

PROJECT 4 - Pocket Guide on First Aid

Prepare a pocket guide on First Aid for your school. The First Aid pocket guide should
contain aid that needs to be given for fractures, poisoning, cuts and burns, heat and
cold wave and other threats that are prevalent in that area. The content shared in the
guide should be supported with adequate pictures so as to give a clear and elaborate
understanding about the topic. Choose awareness campaign strategy for either senior
citizens or illiterate people and prepare a brief write-up.
The project can be carried out by a group of students in a class and work can
be equally divided amongst the students so that the teachers are able to
evaluate them easily. Doctors, local health practitioners, trained volunteers of
Red Cross and professionals from other agencies/bodies/institutes, proficient
in this field can be consulted to prepare the first-aid pocket guide. This guide
can be shared with all the students, teachers and other staff members of the
school. It can be used as a ready reckoner for any First Aid related
information.
PROJECT 5 - Institutional Case Study on Disaster Response
Visit a local NGO/agency such as the United Nations, Red Cross/ Voluntary Youth
Organisations like Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS), National Cadet Corp (NCC),
Bharat Scouts and Guides etc; and prepare a case study on how the agencies played a
major role in Disaster Response.
Select the organisation/agency that you would like to be associated with. It
can be mentioned here that each district in India has a Red Cross wing
headed by the District Magistrate/Collector/Dy. Commissioner. The students
before analysing the role played by various agencies can give a brief
background of the organisation/agency on its mandate, objectives and goals
and role during disasters.

PROJECT 6 - Communication facilities for Disaster Management

Choose any one method of communication from various means of communication like
radio/satellite/television/ Ham radio which are used by Government departments such
as the Indian Meteorological Department to disseminate information. Find out how the
information is disseminated by them at various levels during disasters. Prepare a report.
The students can visit the government departments such as the All India Radio,
Doordarshan etc. Principals are expected to issue a letter to the concerned
Government Department so as to inform the department that the information
collected will be solely for project purpose. Case studies can also be collected
to make the project more interesting).

PROJECT 7: Preparation of Disaster Contingency Plan

Prepare a Contingency Plan either for your school or home/community.. The Plan
should be based on an actual survey of your area/locality or school. The Plan prepared
should consist of the following maps, inventory of resources available and a seasonality
calendar highlighting the seasons prone to various hazards prevalent in that
locality/school.
 A social map
 A Resource map
 A Vulnerability map on the outline map of your locality.
It should answer the questions given under the sub-heading ‘community
contingency plan’ in the lesson, called ‘Planning Ahead’ of Class X Disaster
Management textbook.

andare able to pivot there. Why will the ironing board surface always be
parallel to the floor, regardless of the height of the board form the floor?
Search one more application of linkage.
Roll No. 21 to 30

2. Circumference of earth:
In about 275 B.C.E Eratosthenes developed a method for approximating the
size of the earth. He observed that at noon on June 21 in Syene, Egypt, the
sun was directly overhead.
He determined that at the same time 500 miles north in Alexadria,
the inclination of the Sun’s rays to the vertical was approximately 7.20 .
assuming that the sun’s rays hits the earth in parallel lines, how did he
calculated the circumference of earth?

7.20
500miles Alexandria

Syene Parallel sun’s rays

 Since we assume that the sun’s rays are parallel, the angle formed at the
centre of the earth and 7.20 angle are congruent corresponding angles.
Therefore <O= 7.20, so the distance from Syene to Alexandria is 7.20 / 360
of circumference of the earth.
Therefore circumference of the earth is about
50 X 500 miles = 2500 miles approx
Give other ways to calculate the circumference of the earth. Are the result
same from all the methods.

Roll No. 31to 40

4. Mechanical linkage: A mechanical linkage is a series of rigid links connected
with joints to form a closed chain, or a series of closed chains. Each link has two or
more joints, and the joints have various degrees of freedom to allow motion
between the links. A linkage is called a mechanism if two or more links are
movable with respect to a fixed link. Mechanical linkages are usually designed to
take an input and produce a different output, altering the motion, velocity,
acceleration, and applying mechanical advantage. Search application of
mechanical linkage in daily life.

Roll No.41to 50
5. Golden Ratio:
Golden ratio is often denoted by φ. Its is an irrational mathematical constant.
