Disaster Management - आपदायें क्यों हैं हम पर भारी - Be aware, be disaster safe.

Описание: 1. Primary description.
Disaster Management is about being aware of our being repeatedly affected by disasters and undertaking effective and timely prevention and mitigation measures.
Trail of disaster incidences during the current (2025) monsoon period, particularly in the month of August - from Dharali to Tharali and damming of Bhagirathi and Yamuna - call for introspection, not only of the triggers but also of reasons that aggravated the devastation.
Wrong choice go habitation comes forth as the main cause of devastation and uncontrolled and unscientific development in the fragile Himalayan region is the ammunition that is triggering disasters in a variety of ways.
Get to know all about this in detail and that too in plain and simple Hindi.

2. My Blog: Insights from the Himalayas
Dive deeper into disaster safety and risk reduction on my blog, where I share insights on policy, strategy, and the unique challenges faced by Himalayan communities. It's a space for practical knowledge and thought-provoking discussions on building resilience.

6. About Piyoosh Rautela
Meet Piyoosh Rautela, an Earth Scientist by training who transformed into a dedicated Disaster Manager. With over 22 years of unparalleled service as the Executive Director of the Disaster Mitigation and Management Centre (DMMC) and Uttarakhand State Disaster Management Authority (USDMA) from 2002 to 2024, Piyoosh has been at the forefront of disaster risk reduction in the challenging Himalayan terrain.
His exemplary contributions have earned him significant accolades, including a felicitation by the Governor of Uttarakhand for his pivotal role in the aftermath of the devastating 2013 Kedarnath disaster. He is also a recipient of the prestigious National Geoscience Award – 2019 from the Ministry of Mines, Government of India, for his natural hazard investigations. Under his leadership, DMMC received the Subash Chandra Bose Apada Prabandhan Puruskar – 2020 in the institutional category, and he was individually honoured with the WCDM – DRR Award 2025 by the Disaster Management Initiatives and Convergence Society.
Piyoosh brings over two decades of hands-on experience in disaster risk reduction, mitigation, preparedness, early warning systems, mass awareness, post-disaster recovery, reconstruction, and climate change adaptation at local, district, and state levels. His work is deeply rooted in practical ground realities, blending academic rigor with grassroots insights.
A passionate communicator, Piyoosh has authored numerous popular articles, books, and research papers. He notably facilitated the creation of a vast volume of Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) material, including:
• The critically acclaimed, Censor Board Certified film "The Silent Heroes" (released nationwide in 2015).
• Entertaining, musical video films in local vernaculars on earthquake safety ("Dandi Kathi Ki God Ma") and landslide safety ("Himalaya Ki Dhad").
• Awareness premiers like "Kahi Dhaarti Na Hil Jaye" for seismic safety and "Apada Prabandhan: Paramparao Me Chupe Raaz" and "Unravelled: Risk reduction genius of the people of Uttarakhand" on traditional resource management and DRR.
His work, largely in vernacular languages, has significantly enhanced disaster management awareness among the masses, making complex scientific concepts accessible and actionable. Piyoosh Rautela offers a unique perspective, combining deep scientific understanding with extensive practical experience in navigating the complexities of disaster management in the Himalayas.
