Abstract

Since time immemorial, natural disasters have continued to plague the history of mankind. They have varied in type, frequency, coverage and severity ranging from earthquakes, landslides, droughts, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions etc. Over the last century, the frequency, severity and impact of natural disasters has increased substantially.

“The greatest exploiter for all of us are floods today, droughts tomorrow, earthquake some times and all of these multiply our trauma of deprivation, pains of poverty and hunger. These disasters take away not only our crops, shelters, lives of our families, friends tattles, but also destroy our hopes and dreams of the future. Is there any event comparable to these, which causes so much human sufferings and injustice?” This is the cry in bewilderment of a common farmer of Koshi River basin, Bihar (India) in the midst of recurrent floods and droughts
