Environmental Studies & Disaster Management offers a comprehensive overview of the interrelationship between the environment, natural resources, and human activities, along with strategies to manage and mitigate disasters. Designed for students of agriculture, life sciences, environmental science, and civil studies, the book integrates scientific principles with real-world applications to promote sustainable development and resilience.
The first part, Environmental Studies, introduces the structure and function of ecosystems, biodiversity and its conservation, natural resources (air, water, soil, forests, energy), and the impact of human activities such as industrialization, urbanization, and deforestation. Issues like pollution, climate change, global warming, ozone depletion, and environmental ethics are explained with clarity, linking them to current challenges of sustainability and environmental governance.
The second part, Disaster Management, focuses on the types of disasters — natural (floods, droughts, cyclones, earthquakes, landslides) and man-made (industrial accidents, chemical spills, nuclear hazards, epidemics, conflicts). It discusses the phases of disaster management: prevention, preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery, supported by case studies and institutional frameworks such as the Disaster Management Act and the role of NDMA, SDMA, and international agencies.
Special emphasis is given to community-based disaster risk reduction, early warning systems, remote sensing and GIS applications, and climate-resilient planning. The book highlights the importance of education, awareness, and policy in building disaster-resilient communities.
By combining environmental science with disaster preparedness, Environmental Studies & Disaster Management equips students, researchers, and professionals with the knowledge and skills to safeguard ecosystems and protect society against the growing risks of environmental degradation and disasters.
