Question

Place in sequence the steps in Disaster Management cycle:

• A. A, B, C, D, E
• B. D, B, A, C, E
• C. A, B, D, C, E
• D. B, A, D, C, E

Hint:

Disaster Management cycle follows: Mitigation \(\rightarrow\) Preparedness \(\rightarrow\) Response \(\rightarrow\) Recovery \(\rightarrow\) Reconstruction.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Disaster Management cycle includes activities before, during, and after a disaster. The main stages are mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery, and reconstruction.

Step 1: Start with mitigation.
Mitigation means reducing disaster risk before the disaster occurs. Examples include safe construction, embankments, land-use planning, and risk reduction measures. \[ A = \text{Mitigation} \]

Step 2: Then comes preparedness.
Preparedness includes planning, mock drills, early warning systems, training, and emergency supplies. \[ B = \text{Preparedness} \]

Step 3: During the disaster, response is needed.
Response includes rescue, evacuation, relief distribution, medical help, and emergency communication. \[ D = \text{Response} \]

Step 4: After response, recovery begins.
Recovery means restoring normal life, services, livelihoods, and basic facilities. \[ C = \text{Recovery} \]

Step 5: Finally reconstruction is carried out.
Reconstruction includes rebuilding damaged houses, roads, bridges, schools, hospitals, and infrastructure. \[ E = \text{Reconstruction} \] Therefore, the correct sequence is: \[ A, B, D, C, E \]
