| Summary/Abstract |
One of the most crucial problems-with which mankind confronted with is de?nitely the ways and means of disaster management. In fact, mankind has survived and lived with natural disasters right from the days of the mythical universal deluge. (N arayan 2000). Many a times, mankind becomes simply a toy in the ands of the nature when it becomes furious due to ?ood or earthquake. Floods, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes have plagued and devastated humanity since time immemorial. (Narayan, 2000). The number" of natural disasters around the world continues to grow over time, and their impact on the stricken regions continues to be worsening. (Singh, 2000) In such situations, disaster management becomes really a major concern. Disaster management has assumed great importance of late, due to the occurrence of natural as well as manmade disasters. (Murthy, 2007).

| Summary/Abstract |
Phailin, a tropical cyclone with wind speed of 220 kmph hit Odisha coast on 12 October 20l3,leaving
a trail of destruction. Tropical cyclone is a storm system characterized by a low pressure centre which produces a.strong wind and ?ooding rain. Tropical cyclones are named to provide easy communication between forecasters and the public. Phailin represented the second-stronger tropical cyclone after 1999 Super Cyclone. There is no gainsaying the fact that Odisha with a coastline of 4801-cm is prone to natural disasters like tropical cyclones, storm surge, whirl wind, tsunami and rain-induced ?oods on account of its sub-tropical littoral location. The 480 Km. long coastline of Odisha extends from Balasore in the North to Ganjam Coast in the South. These natural hazards cause immense damage to life and property. According to reports of Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), total number of cyclonic storms and severe cyclonic storms crossing Odisha coast between 1891 to 2000 was 98 while 69, 79 and 62 cyclones struck the coasts of West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu respectively. Super Cyclone of 1999 devastated 14 districts of Odisha with 'catastrophic human consequences.

| Summary/Abstract |
Disaster Management is the discipline of dealing with and avoiding risks. It is a discipline that involves preparing for disaster before it occurs, disaster response (e.g. emergency evacuation, quarantine, mass decontamination, etc.), as well as supporting, and rebuilding society after natural or human-made disasters have occurred. In general, any disaster management is the continuous process by which all individuals, groups, and communities manage hazards in an effort to avoid or ameliorate the impact of disasters resulting from the hazard. Disaster and emergencies appears to be as inevitable as taxes; so too is our on-going effort to cope with them. The ability to cope lies" deep in our primordial past, which has taught us that "organising" is the most efficient and effective means to survive. Sometime due to major accident and leakage the situation become worst for the nearby peoples.

| Summary/Abstract |
The nature 's fury, that devastated Uttarakhand in June 2013, was considered as unprecedented, though the blame was thrown on the State government and other concerned agencies at Centre and State for failure on numerous fronts including lack of institutional arrangements, dissemination and actions based on early warning, lack of coordination, unorganised response etc. It was also felt by many that the situation would have been same with any other state, had disaster of such magnitude have happened there, unless the occurrence of next big disaster event in Odisha in -the form of Cyclone Phailin, which created a success story in managing disasters. Now the country has two major disasters to compare where disaster management surfaced in two extremes. While Uttarakhand disaster resulted in complete failure, the effective disaster management of Phailin not only made us proud, it also became a benchmark for the whole world.
