Title Managing disaster in the marine sector
 
Creator Mohan Joseph, M
 
Subject Marine Environment
 
Description The coastal region is one of the most vulnerable disaster-prone regions
on the surface of planet earth. A wide range of natural, technological and
environmental hazards can lead to disasters in the coastal region. This range
from simple sea erosion and oil spills to devastating tsunamis and major
fires. Historical information on the coastal disasters are scanty except for
cyclones, coastal erosions, oil spills and floods. The 2004 tsunami in the
Andamans and mainland India has brought to focus the relevance of natural
disasters, the vulnerability of people living in the coastal regions, the
inadequacy and un-preparedness of the administrative mechanisms to cope
with the fall outs and the enormity of the problems and issues in the
management and rehabilitation processes.
