About Earthquakes and cyclones in our Indian neighbourhoodsIndia
is highly vulnerable to naturalearthquakes,cyclonesStudies indicate
that natural disaster losses equate to up to 2% of Indias Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) and up to 12% of Central government revenue.
The cyclones that occur between Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are
known as Tropical Cyclones. Tropical cyclones are weather systems
in which winds equal or exceed gale force (minimum of 34 knot,
i.e., 62 kmph). Indian sub-continent is the worst affected region
of the world, having a coast line of 7516 kms. (5400 kms along the
mainland, 132 kms in Lakshadweep and 1900 kms in Andaman and
Nicobar Islands) is exposed to nearly 10% of the worlds Tropical
Cyclones. There are 13 coastal states/UTs encompassing 84 coastal
districts which are affected by cyclones Four States (Andhra
Pradesh, Odisha, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal) and one UT
(Pondicherry) on the East Coast and One State (Gujarat) on the West
Coast are more vulnerable to cyclone disasters. 40% of the total
population lives within 100 km of coastline. Cyclones occur in the
month of May-June and October-November, with primary peak in
November and secondary peak in May
How many way are there to Occur natural disaster Disasters fall
into two major categories. These include man made and natural
disasters. There is a major difference between these two and it is
important to learn more about the same in order to increase your
knowledge on the occurrence and causes of each and hence ensure
that your disaster preparedness is heightened.Natural
disasters:Natural disasters include things such as floods, volcanic
eruptions, earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, landslides and
hurricanes.

Natural Disasters and the Impacts on Health A natural disaster is
defined as an event of nature, which overwhelms local resources and
threatens the function and safety of the community. Generally,
disasters are the ultimate test of a communitys emergency response
capability. Disasters change the landscape in numerous ways, and
only a portion of the changes are immediately evident. Thats
especially so when it comes to public health. Public health
encompasses efforts to protect and improve the health of
communities as a whole, including the promotion of healthy
lifestyles, research into the prevention of injury and disease, and
education.
How people will come out of this Natural disaster Over the past
few decades, the incidence and magnitude of natural disasters has
grown, resulting in substantial economic damages and affecting or
killing millions of people. Recent disasters have shown that even
the most developed countries are vulnerable to natural disasters,
such as Hurricane Katrina in the United States in 2005 and the
Great Eastern Japan Earthquake and tsunami in 2011. Global
population growth, poverty, land shortages and urbanization in many
countries have increased the number of people living in areas prone
to natural disasters and multiplied the public health impacts.The
overwhelming majority of deaths immediately after a natural
disaster are directly associated with blunt trauma, crush-related
injuries and burn injuries. The risk of infectious disease
outbreaks in the aftermath of natural disasters has usually been
overemphasized by health officials and the media, leading to panic,
confusion and sometimes to unnecessary public health
activities.
