Research Paper on Disaster Management

Abstract: Disasters—whether natural or man-made—pose significant threats to human life, infrastructure, and the environment. The increasing frequency and intensity of disasters due to climate change, urbanization, and industrialization highlight the urgent need for effective disaster management strategies. This research paper explores disaster management as a multidisciplinary field encompassing prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery. The paper reviews existing approaches, analyzes modern technological interventions, and proposes an integrated model combining traditional strategies with advanced tools such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and early warning systems. The study concludes that collaborative governance, community participation, and technological innovation are key to reducing disaster risk and enhancing resilience.
