Man-Made Disasters: • - Fires • - Industrial Accidents • - Oil Spills Causes of Disasters • • Natural Disasters: Caused by natural phenomena like earthquakes (tectonic movement), floods (heavy rainfall), and storms. • • Man-Made Disasters: Caused by human negligence, technological failure, or harmful activities like deforestation. Effects of Disasters • • Loss of life and property • • Displacement of people • • Environmental degradation • • Economic loss and infrastructure damage What is Disaster Management? • • Disaster management involves planning and implementing strategies to prevent, mitigate, and respond to disasters. • • It focuses on saving lives, reducing damage, and ensuring quick recovery. Safety Measures for Disasters • • Earthquake: Drop, Cover, and Hold. • • Flood: Move to higher ground and avoid electric poles. • • Fire: Use fire extinguishers and follow evacuation plans. • • Cyclone: Stay indoors and secure loose objects. Conclusion • • Disasters can happen anytime, but proper management can reduce their impact. • • Being prepared and knowing safety measures can save lives. • • Always stay informed and follow government guidelines. Class Activity • • Form groups and select one type of disaster. • • Create a short presentation on its causes, effects, and safety measures. • • Present your findings to the class. Thank You!
