Question

Match List-I with List-II 

List-I (Phase of Disaster)	List-II (Feature)
(A) Predisaster Phase	(I) Include risk assessment and training
(B) Alert Phase	(II) Period when a disaster is developing
(C) Impact Phase	(IV) Relief efforts and immediate response
(D) Post Impact Phase	(III) Re-establishing sanitary measures to prevent outbreak of epidemics

• A. A - I, B - II, C - III, D - IV
• B. A - I, B - II, C - IV, D - III
• C. A - I, B - II, C - IV, D - III
• D. A - III, B - I, C - IV, D - II

Hint:

Think of the disaster timeline:

\textbf{Pre-Disaster:} Prepare (Risk assessment).
\textbf{Alert:} Warning bells are ringing.
\textbf{Impact:} The disaster is happening (Immediate relief).
\textbf{Post-Impact:} Clean up and rebuild (Recovery, re-establishing services).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the disaster management cycle. Step 1: The management of disasters is viewed as a continuous cycle with distinct phases.
Step 2: Define each phase and match it with its corresponding feature.
Step 2:

A. Predisaster Phase: This is the period before a disaster strikes. Activities focus on prevention, mitigation, and preparedness. This matches I. Include risk assessment and training.
B. Alert Phase (or Warning Phase): This is the period when a disaster is imminent or developing, and warnings are issued. This matches II. Period when a disaster is developing.
C. Impact Phase (or Response Phase): This is the period during and immediately after the disaster strikes. The focus is on saving lives and providing immediate assistance. This matches IV. Relief efforts and immediate response.
D. Post Impact Phase (or Recovery/Rehabilitation Phase): This is the long-term phase after the immediate crisis is over. The focus is on restoring normal life and rebuilding. This matches III. Re-establishing sanitary measures to prevent outbreak of epidemics, which is a key recovery activity.
Step 3: Conclude the correct matching.
Step 3: The correct matching is A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III.
