Role of Engineers in Disaster Management

Engineers play a vital role in disaster management.

As you know engineers working at weather forecasting centers inform us about the movement of natural calamities. They are providing necessary information after that government bodies take required actions in order to avoid the disaster upto a maximum possible extent.

Engineers are also the key people after the disaster because after disaster a lot of damage might occur in that region which are rectified by the engineers like electricity problem by electrical engineer and railways track by mechanical engineer and construction works by civil engineer and so many things.

Hence Engineers are the persons who make it possible for the people to live a healthy lifestyle after the disaster also.

Engineers are the boon to the society. They can either make or break a society. They are the ones who can turn our vision into reality. Engineers can design and develop products, they can pave new ways to reach people everyone around the world, they can invent almost anything they want to and their role in disaster affected regions is huge. They should come up with solutions that are free because people won't be able to afford in such times of disaster. Engineers working in the corporate sector should volunteer in those disaster affected regions as part of their social responsibility and come to their relief. Implementing various tools they can come up with solutions that would rather prevent such disasters from happening in the near future.

Engineers are most important persons in our life. Without engineer we can not survive. Engineers make many types development for society. Engineers make a powerful wearing capacity by his technology. Engineers working way different another persons. His thoughts, thinking and imagination power are very different. Then I can say by full confidence. If without technology engineer can be survive but without engineers technology can not be survive.

Engineer plays a very important role in disaster management, engineer gives information about climate conditions, without an engineer we can't imagine the world. Not only a particular branch is important every branch has its own importance, like how our five fingers is important to our hand like that every branch has its own importance, inventions of new software is done by computer science engineer, constructions of buildings is done by civil engineers, inventions of vehicles & new things is done by mechanical engineers, inventions of different types of bulbs is done by electrical engineers. Engineers can create a world.

Hi I am Rajesh, recently in Kerala flood is happened in those time lots of engineers helping through social media and also makes an application for helping and volunteering.

Hello everyone. I am Narinder.

According to me, an engineer plays a vital role in disaster management. They can detect any disaster by using special instruments and alert us by forecasting. Which can decrease damage from the disaster. They also tell some techniques that how to handle a situation a time of disaster and what to do or what to not do. If there is a certain disaster come they help them by a no of methods. They remain fully prepared to face any disaster. Also, engineers make good quality of bridges, buildings poles of electricity, so that it remains safe or least damage at time of disasters. That's why engineer us also called the pillar of civilization. They are not only necessary for today's society but also these are doing very good for us for centuries.

Thank you.

Good evening all of you.

I think there is the main role of the engineer in disaster management compare to others. Because the engineer has the abilities to predict the climate condition by there knowledge and the help of technology and instruments. So because of this, we can able to be ready to face that particular disaster. For example, in last month there was a prediction of cyclon. That cyclone will affect south Gujarat so the government was transferred the people to safe zone from the zone where cyclon effects. So likewise this the prediction of an earthquake is also more important and that can do by engineers and also if the earthquake and any other disaster will damage the developing things to compensate for that development the engineer is needed. For example for the construction of roads and building civil engineer is needed. For railway damages, mechanical engineers needed etc. But as the technology goes on increases day by day the engineer trying to come up with different things. For example, civil engineers are constructing the earthquake-proof building. So before the disaster and after the disaster, they are the major role of engineer.

Hello everyone, myself Kumar Aryan.

The topic of our discussion is "Role of Engineers in Disaster Management. " We can already see that Engineers are playing an important role in disaster management. Engineers specialized in different fields implementing their knowledge to predict the danger before. Environment and weather engineers are working on weather forecasting and analyzing this to get the probability of any climatic conditions that can happen in future thereby warning the people about the destruction that can happen and how to control the situation. Engineers also get the impact of earthquakes, and it's intensity over the region. Astronomical Engineers are also analyzing the rotation of the earth and things happening on the planetary level.

So, Engineers are doing great jobs in preventing the disaster from happening, thereby reducing the loss that can occur by these disasters.

Engeener are very important for our society and also for everyone. They covert their imagination in to reality. Today what we are achieve somewhere gifted by engeener. Like we save our time by using metro train during journey it's means somewhere we have to say thanks to engeener who saveour time by making metro train and we utilize that saving time for our other work. Today engeener gives us earthquake proof building which save our life from huge earthquake. Their vast imagine towards mankind proof their importance in society. In kedarnath disaster it wouldn't be possible to save people by man power. But it was engeenering who not save the thousands of people but also provide them shelter in short spane of time.

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!
