A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Awareness Program on Natural Disaster among Students of Govt. Senior Secondary School in Brahmpuri at Dehradun, Uttarakhand

A Disaster is an event or series of events, which gives rise to casualties and damage or loss of properties, infrastructure, environment, essential services or means of livelihood on such a scale which is beyond the normal capacity of the affected community to cope with. Disaster is also sometimes described as a “catastrophic situation in which the normal pattern of life or ecosystem has been disrupted and extra ordinary emergency interventions are required to save and preserve lives and or the environment”. Over the past two decades, the number of recorded disasters has doubled from approximately 200 to over 400 per year. Nine out of every ten of these disasters have been climate related. Current projections regarding climate change suggest this trend is set to continue and that weather related hazard events will become more frequent and more volatile.
