DISASTER MANAGEMENT CYCLE

Disaster Management Cycle

(Disaster Continuum)
A set of interlinked activities, needs and
remedies that surround the disaster putting
them in the perspective of time:
– ] BEFORE
– ] DURING
– ] AFTER THE EVENT

THE CYCLE INCLUDES DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND

RESPONSE ACTIVITIES

Always FIRST Always READY Always THERE

1. Emergency Response
2. Rehabilitation
3. Reconstruction
4. Development
5. Prevention
6. Mitigation
7. Preparedness
8. Warning
 What is a DISASTER?

a serious disruption of the functioning of a society,

causing widespread human, material, or
environmental losses which exceed the ability of the
affected society to cope within its own resources.

disaster and emergency
situation
• A framework for helping at
risk
• to avoid or recover from the
impact

Climate Change,
Effects and
Mitigation
 What is
Climate Change?
It is a long-term alteration in
global weather patterns,
especially increases in temperature
and storm activity, regarded as a
potential consequence of the
greenhouse effect.
