Nature, Scope and Management Process Disaster Management should focus on optimal utilization of available resources for reducing or limiting the impact of disasters. Disaster Management by nature is both an art and a skill. A skill in conducting any human activity. Art is application of knowledge; an artist attains perfection through practice; Disasters are situations which generally trigger a terror alarm and people are unable to respond as they get panicky. With practice and exposure, this skill can be developed. There is involvement of both science and art in management of disasters. Science takes care of well-laid principles and how they are implemented is dependent on the skill of individuals, which inherently an art.
Nature, Scope and Management Process Disaster Management seeks to replace explanations with a systematic study, with the aim to explain, predict and control disaster. Scope of Disaster management is large as it covers the entire gamut of stakeholders, from individuals to communities, regions and nations.
