Natural disaster management means that all such measures should be taken so that a hazard may not take the form of a disaster. Although, we cannot prevent the occurrence of many hazards, yet we can reduce their harmful effects by proper management, so that the loss of life and property can be minimized.

In fact, the current danger is not from natural disasters, but the greater danger is one which we have from man – made disasters. Disasters are the consequences of natural or man – made hazards. Therefore, through disaster management, we can prevent hazards from transforming into disaster. Disaster management broadly encompasses the management done before, during and after a disaster.
