Disaster Management Cycle - Geography Ebooks | TheGeoecologist

Question 1

What are the four phases of the Disaster Management Cycle?

Accepted Answer

The four phases are Mitigation (long-term risk reduction), Preparedness (capacity building and early warning), Response (immediate life-saving actions), and Recovery (restoring livelihoods and infrastructure with 'Build Back Better' resilience).

Question 2

How is the Disaster Management Cycle relevant to UPSC Geography Optional?

Accepted Answer

It connects Paper I (geophysical processes like plate tectonics, monsoons, climatology) with Paper II (India's DM Act 2005, NDMA, case studies like Kerala floods, Cyclone Fani, and regional planning). Diagrams and Sendai Framework integration fetch high marks.

Question 3

What is the difference between the Hyogo Framework and Sendai Framework?

Accepted Answer

Hyogo (2005–2015) focused on disaster management with five priorities. Sendai (2015–2030) shifted to disaster risk management with seven measurable targets, four priorities, and emphasis on 'Build Back Better,' governance, and investment in resilience — directly shaping India's NDMP 2019.
