accidental melting of the core of a nuclear reactor, and is in common usage a reference to the core's either complete or partial collapse. Its main cause is nuclear meltdown. A nuclear meltdown is an informal term for a severe nuclear accident that results in core damage from overheating. Example Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear accident.

BIOLOGICAL DISASTERBiological disasters are causative of process

or phenomenon of organic origin or conveyed by biological vectors, including exposure to pathogenic micro-organisms, toxins and bioactive substances that may cause loss of life, injury, illness or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage.

WHAT IS DISASTER MANAGEMENTDisaster management is a process or

strategy that is implemented before, during or after any type of catastrophic event takes place. This process can be initiated whenever anything threatens to disrupt normal operations or puts people's lives at risk. Governments at all levels create their own disaster plans that make it possible to overcome various catastrophes and return to functioning normally as quickly as possible.

What it involves ??Dealing with and avoiding both natural and

man made disasters. Preparedness before disaster.Rebuilding and supporting society after

natural disasters.

PHASES OF DISASTER PHASES OF DISASTER MANAGEMENTMANAGEMENT

DISASTER PREPAREDNESSPreparedness should be in the form of money,

manpower and materials

Evaluation from past experiences about risk

Location of disaster prone areas

Organization of communication, information and

warning system

Ensuring co-ordination and response mechanisms Development of public education programme

DISASTER RESPONSEDisaster response is the second phase of

disaster the  management cycle. It consists of a number of elements, for example; warning/evacuation, search and rescue, providing immediate assistance, assessing damage, continuing assistance and the immediate restoration of infrastructure . The aim of emergency response is to provide immediate assistance to maintain life, improve health and support the morale of the affected population. 

DISASTER RECOVERYDisaster recovery (DR) involves a set of policies and procedures to enable the recovery or continuation of vital technology infrastructure and systems following a natural or human-induced disaster. Disaster recovery focuses on the IT or technology systems supporting critical business functions, as opposed to business continuity, which involves keeping all essential aspects of a business functioning despite significant disruptive events. 

Disaster mitigation This involves lessening the likely effects of emergencies.

These include depending upon the disaster, protection of vulnerable population

and structure.

Eg. improving structural qualities of schools, houses and such other buildings

so that medical causalities can be minimized.

Similarly ensuring the safety of health facilities and public health services

including water supply and sewerage system to reduce the cost of rehabilitation

and reconstruction.

This mitigation compliments the disaster preparedness and disaster response

activities.
