Over the last three decades natural and technological disasters have been increasing in terms of frequency, size, number of people affected, and material damage caused. Lack of well-developed disaster management plans results in a severe loss of life and property that could be saved if the necessary mechanisms were in place. A holistic approach, along with collective effort, is required to address the issues of disaster management more effectively. This may contribute greatly towards avoiding or minimizing loss of lives, save the livelihood of millions of people through protection of people and animals in disasters.
