Disaster Management

A disaster is a significant event causing extensive loss that surpasses a community's ability to cope, categorized into natural and human-instigated types. Cyclones, a type of natural disaster, are atmospheric disturbances characterized by strong winds and storms, classified into extra tropical and tropical cyclones. The document also outlines the stages of cyclone development, wind speed classifications, and essential recovery measures and emergency kits for affected individuals.

Disaster

A disaster is a serious problem occurring over a short or long period of


time that causes widespread human, material, economic or environmental
loss which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope
using its own resources. Disasters are routinely divided into either "
natural disasters" caused by natural hazards or "human-instigated
disasters" caused from anthropogenic hazards. However, in modern times,
the divide between natural, human-made and human-accelerated
disasters is difficult to draw.
Cyclone

• Cyclones are caused by atmospheric disturbances


around a low-pressure area distinguished by swift and
often destructive air circulation. Cyclones are usually
accompanied by violent storms and bad weather. The
air circulates inward in an anticlockwise direction in
the Northern hemisphere and clockwise in the
Southern hemisphere. Cyclones are classified as: (i)
extra tropical cyclones (also called temperate
cyclones); and (ii) tropical cyclones. The word Cyclone
is derived from the Greek word Cyclos meaning the
coils of a snake. It was coined by Henry Peddington
because the tropical storms in the Bay of Bengal and
the Arabian Sea appear like coiled serpents of the sea.
How
cyclone
The development cycle of tropical cyclones may be
divided into three stages:

are Formation and Initial Development Stage

formed
The formation and initial development of a cyclonic storm
depends upon various conditions. These are:

A warm sea (a temperature in excess of 26 degrees


Celsius to a depth of 60 m) with abundant and turbulent
transfer of water vapour to the overlying atmosphere by
evaporation.

Atmospheric instability encouraging formation of massive


vertical cumulus clouds due to convection with
condensation of rising air above ocean surface.
Type of Disturbances Wind Speed in Km/h Wind Speed in Knots

Low Pressure Less than 31 Less than 17

Depression 31-49 17-27

Deep Depression 49-61 27-33

Cyclonic Storm 61-88 33-47

Severe Cyclonic Storm 88-117 47-63

Super Cyclone More than 221 More than 120
