Climate has always presented a challenge to farmers, herders, fishermen and others whose livelihoods are closely linked to their environment, particularly those in poor areas of the world. A type of insurance, called index insurance, now offers significant opportunities as a climate-risk management tool in developing countries, if certain challenges are overcome.
According to IRC’s latest Climate and Society publication.
The video i uploaded that is relevant to an organization names as UNICEF that describes how to develop the disaster management technique how to overcome the inflections and catastrophes those are challenging our existence on earth day by day,now the time comes for youth to get the training and make a community for facing such disasters,for this purpose Schools, Colleges, institutions, and community organizations should equip the youth for helping the nation in times of disaster. This is how we can give at least something back to our society.

Disaster recovery is the process, policies and procedures related to preparing for recovery or continuation of technology infrastructure critical to an organization after a natural or induced disaster. Disaster recovery is a division of business continuity. While business continuity involves planning for keeping all aspects of a business functioning in the midst of disturbing events, disaster recovery focuses on the technology systems that support business functions.

Description:
Information technology (IT) has the potential to play a critical role in managing natural and human made disasters. Damage to communications infrastructure, along with other communications problems exacerbated the difficulties in carrying out response and recovery efforts following Hurricane Katrina. To assist government planning in this area, the Congress, in the E-government Act of 2002, directed the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to request the NRC to conduct a study on the application of IT to disaster management. This report characterizes disaster management providing a framework for considering the range and nature of information and communication needs; presents a vision of the potential for IT to improve disaster management; provides an analysis of structural, organizational, and other non-technical barriers to the acquisition, adoption, and effective use of IT in disaster; and offers an outline of a research program aimed at strengthening IT-enabled capabilities for disaster management.
