Our disaster management programme involves either trying to eliminate or diminish the hazards likely to be caused by a potential disaster or trying to make a community less vulnerable to disaster by increasing their capabilities. Also, important to consider is what actions must be taken immediately after the disaster and the actions required in the subsequent period of restoration and rehabilitation. PeFSSED has so far contributed two natural disasters – December 2004 tsunami in South and South East Asia, and July 2005 Panvel floods.
