Different types of disasters 

                                                                              

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.


                                            
  Disasters can be of these types

                  

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.

Disaster management using open source and social media

Some of you may be aware of the Mercury 10 national counter-terrorism exercise currently being held in Australia, involving a variety of government bodies.

While this type of scenario is only one of potentially many different types of crises or disasters that could occur, natural disasters, pandemics, rocks from space, and so on, it does raise the question for me, how is Australia using social media and open source technologies in crisis management.

We've seen quite intensive use of social media in situations such as the Haiti earthquake, Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the Mumbai terrorist attacks and the swine flu pandemic last year.

Across the world authorities are realizing how valuable social media can be to help them quickly get information out to the public, to collect information on the extent of a disaster and help priorities relief efforts. 

They are also beginning to realize how dangerous it can be to not engage online, leaving rumors and misinformation to spread even faster and more virulently than was previously possible. A good example was during the Mumbai terrorist attacks when a rumor that the Indian government was asking for all live tweeting from Mumbai to stop in order to avoid giving the terrorists information about police movements.

However the really interesting developments in disaster management are happening outside of government. Software engineers and disaster management specialists have spent the last few years developing better tools for addressing crisis situations - often without any support from the authorities responsible for managing emergencies.

disaster is something which happens naturaully may be unnaturally, but when we listen word disaster we have something in our mind that it occures naturally i.e earthquick,floods and many more.
