Disaster management is a vast domain
that includes treaties, laws, policies, equipment, and training implemented by
the United Nations down to community civil defense organizations. Organizations
can be characterized by their roles in disaster management such as policy
making, types of disasters they respond to, funding sources and benefactors,
information sharing, training and preparation, response personnel and
equipment, damage assessment, response and recovery, and control. Local
government should provide them with economical as well as human resources.
Disasters on a continuum include small-scale events localized. Small disasters
are relevant, often posing unique problems, they typically are locally
mitigated.
Disaster management begins with
preparations. Preparations range from earthquake proof building codes to public
alerts. Preparations also include training. Training not only familiarizes
people with disaster management duties, but also identifies where additional
preparations might be needed. For disaster management training, situational
awareness depicting a scenario both analog and digitally can be used to
exercise participants. Analog procedures could be as simple as having
participants use a map and phone to react to scripted events. Digital
procedures might be as complex as simulations portraying a disaster and participant
mitigation efforts distributed in real-time across dedicated communication
lines.
The training should reflect the real
disaster were it to occur. Then only we can bail out of such devastating
situation. Disaster management training is often conducted with the use of
localized and distributed simulations.
