Natural Disasters


HEALTH PROJECTS
The cost of doctors’ fees, a course of drugs and transport to reach a health center can be devastating, both for an individual and their relatives who need to care for them or help them reach and pay for treatment. In the worst cases, the burden of illness may mean that families sell their property, take children out of school to earn a living or even start begging.


DISASTER MANAGEMENT
Natural Disasters act as a reminder to the humankind of the increasing frequency of natural calamities which can be linked to climate change and unchecked development. India is vulnerable to a wide range of natural hazards, particularly flooding, cyclones, drought, extreme heat waves, landslides, wildfire, and earthquakes. Studies show that, as a result of climate change, the intensity, duration and frequency of weather-related shocks are likely to increase. In India, vulnerability to natural hazards is exacerbated by high population density and growth in urban and coastal areas.
