Disaster Management discusses to the management of both man made and natural disasters including the most recent natural disaster the Tsunami of 26th December 2004 as also the modeling of convective thunder storm, mesoscale modeling, hydrological variation over the north east Himalayas, tropical cyclone storm, disaster management based on satellite data, floods and droughts over Gujrat State, air-sea interaction study over Bay of Bengal, natural hazard assessment, natural hazard in lesser Himalayas and climate change etc. This volume will be useful to scientists / engineers, Government agencies and NGOs for the management and control of disaster.
