The Change to Respond To Natural Disaster

Introduction

Crisis management is an activity of public administration which is part of national security management, which is to avert crises, preparing to take control over it through the planned activities, to respond in case of emergencies and restoring the infrastructure and restoring its original character (Miskel, 2006).

The crisis is a state of growing instability that causes intense, persistent and long-term deterioration in the functioning of society and state. It is characterized by an escalation of threats, loss of control over mitigating the effects of the event (crisis) by the individual services, inspections and guards. This situation may also cause adverse effects in the economy and can have an impact on foreign relations (Miskel, 2006).

Crisis Response is the current rescue services for all events - threatening the health and lives of citizens or the environment - to reduce or eliminate their effects and to help the victims (which are one of the phases of crisis management).

When seeking to understand Risk Management, first we must bear in mind that it includes two major elements, one of which refers to uncontrollable factors and other factors that can be minimized. Between uncontrollable factors are those natural hazards at specified intervals, due to the problem of climate change has increased in frequency, and between controllable factors are those that refer to the level of exposure, fragility and society's ability to recover from adverse elements (Goss, 2007).

In this regard, the combination of vulnerability (exposure - controllable) and danger (of natural origin uncontrollable) become a function that increases or decreases depending on the work done in the factor on which society has an impact that Vulnerability is. Thus the risk (the function) increases if the vulnerability rises and decreases the low vulnerability (Purdy, 2001).

Discussion

Climate is naturally variable and some of this variability is due to causes external to the climate system (atmosphere, continents, oceans, ice, biosphere) as the variability of solar and volcanism. Another cause external climate change is related to the man who changes the chemical composition of the atmosphere by injecting gases responsible for greenhouse effect "additional". It also modifies the climate by altering the composition of atmospheric particles (Or aerosols) and changing the characteristics of land surfaces through land use (Federal Emergency Management Agency, 2009).

Adaptability is the degree to which systems are able to adjust to new conditions or to anticipate them. Different adaptation measures available to makers: technical measures (including planning), warning measures and prevention, measures of solidarity. In many cases we can plan the way to minimize the negative or the positive effects of values. Measures can be taken to prevent damage, such as building ...
