Disaster management is the process of planning, preparing, responding, and recovering from natural or man-made disasters to minimize damage, protect lives, and restore normalcy as quickly as possible. It involves governments, organizations, and communities working together to reduce the impact of disasters.
1. Earthquake Early Warning System Model
- A shake table using springs or motors to simulate an earthquake.
- Buildings with and without earthquake-resistant designs to show how structures react.
2. Tsunami Detection and Protection Model
- Demonstrate how underwater sensors detect a tsunami and trigger an alarm.
- Show how mangroves, breakwaters, and elevated houses reduce tsunami damage.
3. Volcanic Eruption Working Model
- Create a volcano model using baking soda, vinegar, and food coloring to simulate an eruption.
- Explain the impact of volcanoes and ways to manage lava flows.
4. Landslide Prevention Model
- Use layers of soil on an inclined surface to show how landslides occur.
- Demonstrate landslide control methods like retaining walls, tree plantations, and drainage systems.
5. Cyclone and Hurricane Preparedness Model
- Show how cyclones form using a water vortex experiment.
- Include storm shelters, warning systems, and tree barriers for protection.
