Book Review:
Disaster Management by Dr. S.R. Singh appears to be an academic or professional textbook aimed at students, researchers, and practitioners involved in disaster risk reduction, emergency planning, and crisis response. Given the title and common approaches in this genre, the book likely covers fundamental concepts such as disaster typology (natural vs. human-made), phases of disaster management (mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery), institutional frameworks, community-based approaches, and case studies from India and beyond.
Dr. Singh’s work is probably structured to serve as a course textbook for undergraduate or postgraduate programs in environmental science, public administration, social work, or civil engineering. It may include diagrams, flowcharts, policy summaries, and review questions to aid learning.
While the exact depth, style, and update level are unclear without further details, books of this nature are often valuable for establishing a systematic understanding of how societies can anticipate, respond to, and recover from disasters. If well-researched and clearly written, it could be a useful reference for students, government officials, NGO workers, and disaster management professionals.
Prospective readers should check the publication date and table of contents to assess its relevance to current challenges such as climate change adaptation, technological hazards, and pandemic response. As an introductory or mid-level resource, Disaster Management likely provides a solid foundation in the principles and practices of this critical field.
