From the Foreword Too often the people in the path of these floods have no warning and in many cases it is the poorest of the poor those with the least resources for recovery who are exposed most. Controlling these floods is a daunting and perhaps impossible task but much can be done to reduce the damage they cause by providing sufficient warning of the impending disaster for threatened populations to protect their property or move to safer areas. By their nature floods are a regional issue. Most of the rivers that rise in the HKH region flow through more than one country. The countries of the region are drawn together through common river basins and must come together to link upstream events with downstream consequences and downstream policies with upstream consequences. To forecast floods with any degree of accuracy timely and reliable hydrometeorological information is needed from the whole of each river basin thus information must be exchanged across national borders and all countries need a sufficient and compatible capacity in data collection transmission and flood forecasting. 96 pp.

Appendix Facts file tsunami earthquakes floods and Heavy rains. Index. Since 26 December 2004 the occurrence of natural calamites in terms of Tsunami and heavy floods has become a regular phenomenon in India. Not only did they affect the people in coastal areas but also inhabitants in and around inland regions. During the past one year it is evident that the extent to which a population is affected by a calamity does not purely lie in the physical component of vulnerability but is contextual also to the prevailing social and economic conditions and its is consequential effect on human activities within a given society. Amid the countless corpse statistics countable survivors stories and gigantic relief and rehabilitation operations many eyebrows have raised about the philosophical question is there God. It is reflected in a spate of articles and letters in newspapers published by rationalists religious leaders and theologians faith believers scientists and common people all over the world. Post Tsunami rescue relief and rehabilitation experiences by different governments NGOs and donor agencies have opened up new vistas in disaster mitigation and management strategies. This special book Disaster Mitigation and Management Post Tsunami Perspectives is to commemorate the decadal service (1996 2006) of Vellore Institute of Development Studies (VIDS). Additional informative as well as illustrative media reports especially after two year historic natural disaster have been added to build up the necessary practical parameters of disaster mitigation and management among the people. Do's and don'ts related to Tsunami earthquake floods and heavy rains are catalogued as cautious preventive measures. The book's coverage and contents on disaster management will become a good referral for post Tsunami disaster plans and programmes. 250 pp.
