Disasters are out of human control and cause immense loss of human lives and characteristics, shaking normal daily activities and putting a stop on them for several months to come. Natural disasters are very common all over the world, there is no escape from it.
Disaster management is the management of programs and resources to respond to emergency situations caused by natural events such as floods, earthquakes, storms, volcanic eruptions, landslides, tsunamis, tornadoes, hurricanes, cyclones, etc. Such as nuclear explosions, transport accidents, stampede, fires, oil spills, industrial accidents, etc. Professionals who help deal with such disasters are known as disaster management specialists; They design and direct disaster response programs and processes of different types. They work as directors of emergency management that also plans and works for other types of emergency situations.
Any disaster can disrupt essential services, such as health care, electricity, water, trash removal, transportation, and communications. Disruption can seriously affect the health, social and economic networks of local communities and countries. Disasters have a significant and lasting impact on people long after the immediate effect has been mitigated. Poorly planned relief activities can have a significant negative impact not only on disaster victims, but also on donors and relief agencies. Therefore, it is important that physiotherapists join established programs rather than attempting individual efforts.
Local, regional, national and international organizations are involved in the development of a humanitarian response to disasters. Each will have a prepared disaster management plan. These plans cover prevention, preparedness, relief and recovery.
