Hello everyone, my name is Arti.

Friends, today we have a topic for discussion that is the Role of Engineers in Disaster Management.

In my opinion, firstly, we have to know who an engineer is? I think engineers are normally like us as individuals but their skills are what they acquire and learn in their journey to create an engineer from a normal person. I think an engineer's journey is already has so many situations they deal with in their journey, so I think they are preparing her/hisself for handle this kind of situation in earlier. So, I think that they are making themselves good in managing on the situation of disaster.

Good morning everyone, I am Shibam.

Today's topic is about the role of engineers in disaster management.

In My point of view, engineers are a vital part of society. Without them, Our lives would never be easy. In Disaster Management, Engineers are very crucial in determining the quantity of impact which affects normal people so that they can prepare to face the disaster. The government also takes necessary action for the welfare of the people and to tackle the disaster.

Basically, Engineers calculate the impact of Disaster through various methods, so that we prepare accordingly to save the lives of people.

That's all from my side. Thank you.

Good morning everyone, I'm Rahul and today we have a wonderful topic to discuss it. And today's GD topic is the Role of Engineers in Disaster Management.

All of my batchmates already discussed many different points about this topic like who are engineers and about their role and their role in disaster management. So guys can you believe, engineers are those who can trace or predict a disaster before it happens? A geo-engineer can predict the pace and intensity of an earthquake before it occurs therefore shifting people from that area can save many lives. Underground shelters or capsules are designed for sea areas which can secure lives from floods and tsunamis. Deep borewells are also installed in different dry areas to prevent that area from drought.

By this way, engineer plays a very crucial role in disaster management.

That's all thank you.

An engineer plays an important role in disaster management not only after the disaster but their main role in preventing the disaster. They built various technologies for that like earthquake-proof construction design which makes bridges buildings roads safe and strong. They develop various medical technologies communication technologies which save countless lives every year. That is why engineers play a very important role in disaster management.

THANK YOU.

Engineers play a crucial role in disaster management by designing, planning, and implementing strategies to mitigate the impact of disasters, as well as aiding in recovery efforts. Engineers design infrastructure to withstand natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and storms. This includes earthquake-resistant buildings, flood barriers, and stormwater management systems.

Hello everyone.

As we all know our everyday life is impossible without the work of an engineer. The shelter we live under, the transport we use, the roads we travel through, the machines we use, and communications channels all are available to us because of engineers.

Coming to our topic " Role of Engineers in disaster management", having an engineer at the site of disaster will be of great help to the disaster management team to rescue the survivors easily within less time. Because Engineers can give a better idea to rescue people from the collapsed buildings as they know more about buildings and their infrastructure. Not only an architect and a civil engineer ca help in disaster management but also others can help by their inventions and tools. Auto mobile engineers will know the power and right way to use those heavy vehicles, and the mechanical engineers will know the right way to use the tools to help in the rescue process.

Engineers play a vital role in Disaster Management,

Engineers are those people who know technical and innovative ideas very well. The disaster can be caused by natural and also human beings. By inventing many technical products engineers can reduce disaster.

Hello everyone, as the topic says "the role of engineers in disaster management" I believe that the role of engineers is everywhere in our day-to-day life and as well in critical situations.

For disaster management I believe that engineers can help in various ways, be it a civil engineer who can analyse the bridges, dams load and overflows in floods or any water disaster, be it an electrical or electronics engineer who can check the power supply management in the disastrous situation who can check if the messages or notices are reaching through every affected city, also mechanical engineers can contribute as they can design innovative machines or jet, boats that can be used in a critical situation.

I'm very happy to share some thoughts on this topic. I'm a civil engineer I can able to build the society in a technical manner. Every country could be taken part to create many innovative ideas. But in our locality it could be low quality design materials to build the constructions due to political reverence.

Engineers are build a long lasting period of time. There also know the failure point of the part.

In disaster times, there can manage the loss of the lives & damage should be decreased. And also there are getting able to reconstruct the damage places.

So, I proudly say. Engineers are back bone of the India.

Well as everyone said in this discussion, engineers play a great role not only in today's society but since many years. Having a great safe sleep under the fan or AC in a completely protected room could have not been possible without engineers. There could have been no developed communication facilities without an IT or Computer engineer, there won't be any transportation without an Automobile engineer, without an electronic and mechanical engineer having a comfortable sleep will be a dream. Even though doctors save us, engineering principles had enhanced the positive results of an operation.

Coming to the point, "role of engineers in disaster management", many road accidents have been reduced due to improved technology like sensors etc.

Having a prototype of a building or vehicle or machine before creating actual models, with the help of design software has reduced or maybe eliminated many risk factors. Thanks to those design engineers.

In my personal experience, Still, there is a major concern that most people in some rural areas are thinking that engineering is worthless and are stopping their children from choosing this awesome degree.

Thank you!
