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: Disaster management involves a continuous cycle with distinct phases.
Step 2: Define each phase and match it with its corresponding feature.
Step 2:

A. Predisaster Phase: This phase occurs before a disaster. Activities concentrate on prevention, mitigation, and preparedness. This matches I. Risk assessment and training.
B. Alert Phase (or Warning Phase): This phase is when a disaster is approaching, and warnings are issued. This matches II. Period when a disaster is developing.
C. Impact Phase (or Response Phase): This phase is during and immediately after the disaster. The focus is saving lives and providing immediate help. 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. The focus is restoring normal life and rebuilding. This matches III. Re-establishing sanitary measures to prevent outbreak of epidemics, a key recovery activity.
Step 3: Conclude the correct matching.
Step 3: The correct matching is A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III.
