The Role of Organizations and Employee Engagement in Disaster Management in the Context of Natural Disasters

Abstract

Disaster prevention may mean different things to different individuals depending on
their field of study. To lessen the severity of; alleviate the burden of; moderate is the definition of
the word mitigate. As a result, preventative measures may be planned as if they would be
implemented after the fact. catastrophe mitigation, on the other hand, is defined as "Measures
taken in advance of a disaster with the aim of decreasing or eliminating its impact on social and
environmental systems" in a globally agreed upon multilingual vocabulary.
The Indian government recognizes the need of including preventative measures and damage
control into its growth plans. The disaster management strategy is laid out in great detail in the
Ten Year Plan document. The plan stresses the need of incorporating mitigating measures into
the development process in order to ensure long-term sustainability. Each state is responsible for
developing its own disaster preparedness strategy in conformity with the framework laid forth in
the plan. To sum up, mitigating measures are increasingly becoming standard in the
development planning process. The Finance Commission suggests how money should be
distributed between the federal government and the states, as well as how much should be spent
on humanitarian aid. The sections highlight the gaps in preparedness and catastrophe
prevention strategies.
