1. HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI (August,1945) DISASTER

2. Introduction “ Sixteen hours ago an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, and destroyed its usefulness to the enemy. That bomb had more power than 20,000 tons of T.N.T. It had more than two thousand times the blast power of the British Grand Slam, which is the largest bomb ever yet used in the history of warfare. ” President Harry Truman (USA)

3. Introduction First time in the History , A Nuclear Weapons are used by a Humans again Humanity to Occupied country . The first nuclear weapon was detonated in New Mexico on 16 July 1945. That test explosion was soon followed by the wartime use of two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, respectively.

4. Hiroshima On August 6th, 1945, at 8:15 A.M ., Japanese time, a B-29 heavy bomber flying at high altitude dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. In Hiroshima , of a resident civilian population of 250,000 it was estimated that 45,000 died on the first day and a further 19,000 during the subsequent four months.

5. Pictorial View: Caption:  Images from the Surveys in Hiroshima and Nagasaki Devastation is seen in the vicinity of 'ground zero' after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan. August 6 marks 75 years since the United States unleashed the world's first atomic bomb attack on the city of Hiroshima, followed three days later by the second and last on Nagasaki, vaporizing lives, buildings and Japan's capacity for war.

6. Nagasaki On August 9th, three days later, at 11:02 A.M ., another B-29 dropped the second bomb on the industrial section of the city of Nagasaki , totally destroying 1/2 square miles of the city. In Nagasaki , out of a population of 174,000, on the first day 22,000 died and another 17,000 within four months. About 15 square Kilometres (over 50%) of the two cities was destroyed.

8. Disaster management cycle:

9. Mitigation (Measure before Disaster) Mitigation activities actually eliminate or reduce the probability of disaster Occurrence , or reduce the effects of unavoidable disasters. The sustained actions are also Knows as mitigation. It is the Initial phase of disaster management and should be considered before a disaster. It is a long and continuing activity that is integrated with each of the other phases of Disaster management.

10. Goal of Mitigation Protect people and structures during disaster. Reduce the cost of Response and Recovery.

11. Mitigation measures To identify When disaster can occur in and around the community. The Likelihood of its occurrence. The consequences of the Event in term of Casualties, destruction and disruption of Services. The Cost of Response and Recovery

12. Preparedness (Actions before disaster) “Means readiness to Respond ” Because it is not possible to mitigate completely against any disasters by taking certain actions before, harmful consequences of a disaster can be reduced. The goal of emergency preparedness programs is to achieve a satisfactory level of readiness to respond to any Emergency situation.

13. Preparedness Preparedness include planning ,training and Educational activities Like- Developing disaster preparedness Plans for What to do , where to go or Who to call for help in a disaster. Exercising emergency plans through drills and full scale exercise. 3. Early warning system. Identifying resources and creating supply list of items that are useful in disaster. Identification of high risk areas and designating facilities for emergency use

14. Response ( During or immediately after disaster ) The aim of emergency response is to provide immediate assistance to maintain life , improve health and support the morale of the affected population. Such assistance may range from providing specific but limited aid, such as assisting refugees with transport , temporary shelter , and food , to establishing semi-permanent settlement in camps and other locations. It also may involve initial repairs to damaged infrastructure.

15. Response Implementing of disaster response plans. Taking action to protect yourself, your family, your animals and others. Conducting life saving missions like evacuation and search and rescue. Provision of food , water and emergency health care.

17. Recovery (After disaster) To return the community's system and activities by rebuilding or restoration efforts beyond the provisions of immediate relief like- Rehabilitation. Rebuilding damaged structure Preventing or reducing stress related illness Providing financial support to people Development of practices and policies to reduce the vulnerability and to avoid or mitigate similar situations in future.

18. Recovery Recovery activities continue until all systems return to normal or better. Recovery measures, both short and long term, include returning vital life support systems to minimum operating standards; temporary housing; public information ; health and safety education; reconstruction ; counseling programs ; and economic impact studies . Information resources and services include data collection related to rebuilding, and documentation of lessons learned.
