Context

Disasters (natural, anthropogenic, tecl'lncHogical or socia-civil) since long ~avebeen considered tragic interruptionsto the development process. When development plans arelaid and a disaster stri1les, development funds are divertedto meet emergency situations. Additional aid Is directed torelief 8l1d reconet.ruction needs to get the country "back ontrack" toward economic arnf social development.

Disaster losses Indude not onfy the shocking direct impactsthat ~ see in the news. s~ as the loss of life, housIng,and Infraslf\lcture, but also indirect impacts such as theforegone production of goods and services caused byinler~ptlons in utility services, transport, labor supp.ies,supplrefl;, or markets.

In recent yeafl;,.. the linkages between environment,disasters and dellelopment are beIng re-emphasized due totheir significance in public governance and sustainabifitymanagement. This evolution would seem inevitable whenone considers the disproportionately high costs thatdeveloping oountr1es pay for disasters. Recent mejor hydro-meteorological disasters 'ike leh floods, Ultarakhand flashflood 2013, Pune landSlIde 2014, and the implications mCyclones Ai.s. Lejfa. Phailin, call for greater understandingof these relationshIps. Behavioural, environmental and&ocio~conomi~ aspects .in earthquake safely mana~ementand disaster osk reductIon are now consid'ered entical topublic safety, besides fire risk reduction owing to recentloss incidences. Occurrences of urban flood have becomeannual feature. Climate Change is known to aggmvate suchtlazards and IlUlnerability of communities. Industrial-chemical and other tedlnological disasters "ike aviation.rail, etc.} and soci~illil risks including stampede. etc. addf?Omplexityto the risks, as is evident from recent mishapslike Jalpur fire, Vlshakhapatnam explOSion, Bhilai accidentGAIL pipeline explosIon, etc. '

Following UN-International Decade for Natural DisasterReduction (IDNDR 1991-99}, there has been a paradIgmshift in disaster management from 'response and reliefcentlic' to 'prevention-mitigation and preparedness centric'approach. With gl"O'lNingawareness Oil climate change andenllironmental implications, and emghasls on theunderlying factors of vulnerability, a 2" Paradigm ShIfttowards "integmted local planning and adaptation centric'approach has emerged globally. Counlry's commitment tomainstream disaster risk reduction into the process ofdevelopment at all levels for sustainable development, asslated' in Hyogo Framework of Action 2008-15: BUilding theResilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters, is yetto be cerrled fosward across sectors for actionablepr-"rammes for aChieving the desired results.
