Contest Theme:
This Year eYIC focus on Disaster management
Disasters are broadly classified into NATURAL DISASTERS and USUAL DISASTERS. The destruction caused by either leads to loss of life, property damage and a temporary shutdown of the economy. Many of us think that disasters are inevitable, and they are, but we can reduce the destruction they cause. Over the years, DM authorities have worked on hazard and risk assessments; awareness and education; mitigation; preparedness for emergency response, recovery and reconstruction; prediction and warning; strategies for learning from disasters; and international cooperation. These seven verticals give us a scaffolding to design technology that can help us mitigate the effects of death and destruction from disasters.
