Disaster management has undergone significant changes in recent years due to increasing disaster frequency, climate change, technological advancements and the growing need for community participation. Earlier, disaster management mainly focused on relief and recovery after an event occurred. The recent approach has shifted towards prevention, preparedness, risk reduction and building resilience among communities. One of the major trends in disaster management is the move from a reactive approach to a proactive approach. Governments and organizations now focus on identifying risks before disasters occur and taking preventive measures. Hazard mapping, vulnerability assessment and early warning systems are being used to reduce the impact of disasters. This approach helps communities prepare better and minimizes loss of life and property. The use of advanced technology has become an important feature of modern disaster management. Geographic Information System (GIS), remote sensing, satellite technology and artificial intelligence are widely used for disaster prediction, monitoring and response planning.
