Role of media in disaster preparedness in Indian continental context - An Emerging Trend in Disaster Preparedness & Management in India

The efforts of disasters need to be examined not only in technical and scientific terms but also in humanitarian, social and economic terms. The media can play an important role in this direction. Their contribution to disaster education must take the form of promotion of national consciousness on disasters and should endeavor to evoke an interest in systematic disaster mitigation in the community and agencies involved in disaster management. The media could also serve as a platform for sharing information between the handful of scientific community members and the public at large. Complex scientific phenomena could be explained in an easy language through the eyes of a common man and his daily life.
