Disaster management is basically the self-preparedness before a disaster, at the time of the disaster and post disaster. Being prepared for the worst does not necessarily mean you will avoid worst, but it can definitely mitigate the effects of the worst. Disasters can be caused naturally, and can be planned to bring some harm to a specific person or to a group of people. Whatever the case may be, it still brings a lot of pain and suffering along with it. This iswhy it is important that we try our best to avoid any kind of disasters from affecting our own lives. Disasters have certain features, and one must be prepared according to the type of the disaster. The features are listed below: -Duration (short term vs. long term) Some kinds of disasters happen for a short interval of time and it takes less time to bringour lives back on track, whereas some of them take a lot of time to resolve. A classic example for the first scenario can be a local riot and the second one can be nuclear radiation out of a chemical blast. -Scale (affecting individual or masses) There are a few situations that are very personal in nature, like your career getting sabotaged, or your water heater breaking. Then there are other circumstances like terrorist attacks, floods and etc., which inflict pain among a huge mass. -Recovery Time (Days/ Months/ Years) Situations like local theft or protests get under control within few days, but there are situations like nuclear radiation that leaves their effects for years to come. Contributor Bio:  Davidson, John John Davidson was born in Barrhead in Renfrewshire in 1857. He spent his childhood years in Greenock, and after working as a pupil-teacher and briefly attending Edinburgh University, taught in schools in Glasgow and Perth. In 1989 he moved to London where he made his living as a journalist and critic. Several dramas had been published while he was still in Scotland, but in the 1890s he turned to poetry, and published several collections which were very popular: In a Music-Hall (1891) and Ballads and Songs (1894) amongst them. These were poems which chronicled urban working class life, and his sense of outrage at the poverty of the ordinary man, as expressed by the much-anthologized 'Thirty Bob a Week'. At the beginning of the new century he moved away from the lyric and began writing in blank verse which incorporated much scientific language; this series of Testaments were not as successful as his earlier ballad style, though Hugh MacDiarmid was to pay tribute to Davidson's attempts to combine poetry with scientific ideas. Despite the early popularity of the poetry, financial difficulties constantly plagued Davidson; he had had no choice but to continue with the journalism he disliked in order to support his family and other dependents. Sadly the money worries, combined with ill-health and depression, drove him to committing suicide in 1909.
