Role of the engineer in disaster management.
Engineers reflect the intellect of a country, an engineer is exposed to various disciplines of science like electricity, magnetism, mechanics, computing, etc. He is a production unit by himself, when he attempts to create a new product while doing so he must keep in mind various disastrous that can occur in case of any misconception.
Disasters can be human, material, economic or environmental. Once occurred will leave a large impact on the lives of people.
For example;
1. Incident of leakage in LG polymers at Vishakapatnam,
There was a leakage of styrene gas at 3 o clock in the morning, which spread the whole city and has taken many lives. The engineers would have been well informed of the leakage issues and apt troubleshooting processes.
2. Bhopal gas tragedy,
This issue is well known all over the country, leak of iso-cyanate led to a disastrous situation where people have to leave their homes and the area was not fit for living for a prolonged period of time. It has affected soil, air, water in that area.
There are various examples as such, if an engineer is well informed and cautioned about the disasters and educated on disaster management it can help in lessening the impact of the disaster. Few disaster management techniques can be,
1. Regular inspection of the working condition of equipment, proper shutdown.
2. Knowing the climate changes, regularly following the updates of the weather forecast.
3. Performing rigorous tests at lab scale for various combinations possible before implementing at large scale.
4. Implementing stances like zero waste, on site wastewater treatment, treatment of acid sludge's etc.
5. Regular checks on assets and liabilities and regular formulation of income and balance sheets, can hamper the risks of economic disasters.

Engineers have a very important role in disaster management. Engineers can reduce the loss which will occur by these natural disasters by their proper planning and mindful execution of technology and instruments. Every engineer has his role here, as a mechanical engineer one can develop best machines which won't effect easily by nature like shockproof railway tracks, bridges etc.
Civil engineer can work on the roads and buildings so that they won't easily collapse by earthquakes etc and also electrical engineer can develop the best electric pillars to not collapse on the roads, right after they got the information about these disasters they can disconnect the electricity so that many people can save their lives by some shocks in raining they can alert the people from hit zones.
Thank you.

Hello everyone, I am glad to get this opportunity to express my view on the topic: "Role of Engineers in Disaster Management".
Engineers are the pillars of civilization. The main role of engineers is to implement science in real life for the betterment of society. When it comes to disaster management, engineers can play a very vital role. Technologies are developing each and every day. Now, we can be able to know the advance forecast of any type of disasters or natural calamities and according to that forecast we can take preventive measures. This has become possible for scientists and engineers. Sometimes the effect of the disaster becomes really terrible and tragic. Electric posts fall and the entire area can not get electricity. On that time Engineers are the one and only solution. Besides, many houses are broken, trees are uprooted, for all those cases Engineers can give proper solutions. So, I conclude by saying that Engineers are the only persons who can rotate the wheel of civilization and present a better world in front of us.

I am Rakesh today's topic is the Role of Engineers in disaster management.
I want to suggest some point that shows how important engineer for our society. Before the accent year, there are so many disasters happen and many people die, some people lose their homes. I know this is not in our hands but what we can do preparation for that situation. But it is not possible earlier. But the good news is this is now possible we got information about any disaster so we can prepare for it this invention gives by our engineer. That's why an engineer is the backbone of our system. We everything doing traveling, calculation so many this is a big invention discovered by the engineer. Really proud of it. The engineer is the inventor for all discovery due to engineer we can estimate weather conditions and rain come or not we can also get it. I think they deserve a salute.

Hello.
Good morning to all.
Today we are going to discuss on the topic Role of Engineers is disaster management. Yes, there are the vital role of the engineer in disaster management. Without an engineer, we can't imagine the world. Engineer design and develop, and also implement the things. An engineer gives the information about the weather conditions according to that government make the plan to overcome.

Engineers are more developed in India. Single engineer may design a world. Most of the engineers are complete their studies but they didn't get their jobs.

Good evening team! My name is Baidya.
I am glad to start the discussion on the topic of the roles of engineers in disaster management.
In my point of view, they play a significant role of Engineers while managing any disaster because before coming to any disaster, the engineering teams evaluate the exact date of the striking place of striking what will be the impact of that disaster on that place, and the possible precautions that could be taken to avoid the financial and manpower loss. So, overall it could be concluded that there is a great important role of engineer while managing any disaster.
Thanks.

Engineers plays a very big role in the new modern world. In today's world, nothing can happen without engineers. They have a very good thought process. In disaster management engineers play a vital role. Engineers are also working in whether the broadcasting department, they give information about the weather conditions, on that basis government, can able to take necessary actions to avoid the disaster. After the disaster, everything would be finished but engineers can develop anything, electricity problem can be solved by Electrical engineer, Railway problems and vehicle problems solved by mechanical engineers and construction problems can be solved by civil engineers. Engineers can come up with new ideas and new technology.

Good morning everyone today is a very big day to glad to me you all. And coming to today's topic, the role of engineering in disaster management that in these day engineer plays an impact role in our daily life because when you wake up our day starts all the process or things are based on the engineer. Every engineer plays an important role because for motorcycle mechanical engineer is a need, for fuel chemical engineer is a need, for electricity electrical engineer is a need. For all these works every engineer is needed. Without this, you don't know everything. So engineer is not an easy job. It's just a word to tell easy. But it not easy to finish the work.

Hi, I am Brishaketu.
All are above-mentioned the several role. I includes that before disaster save design made by engineer cna help to reduce the risk of disaster. Example- design earthquake proof building. Forecasting about disaster can help be aware and reducing effect of the disaster.
