Printed material is our backbone. Our study material is prepared by team of experts
keeping in view the intere t of the learner group. Each course has an expert
committee and resource persons from amongst distinguished academic and
profe sionals who are involved in the course preparation. The cour e material is
written in such a manner that the students can study it by themselves with a little
assistance from our Counsellors at the Study Centres. Further, text books and
reference books are available in the libraries attached to the Study Centres and
Regional Centres. Therefore, students will have no need for any cheap or condensed
guides for following courses of IGNOU. In fact these may harm them. Hence, the
University strongly advises the students not to take recourse to such type of guides.

1. THE UNIVERSITY
Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) was established in September, 1985 by an
Act of Parliament, with a view to democratise education so that it covers large segments of
population, vocations and professions. The primary emphasis is on innovation, flexibility and cost
effectiveness. Thus it is a University with a difference.
The major objectives of the university are:
• to promote the educational well-being of the community;
• to democratise higher education by providing easy access to all those who desire to
improve their qualifications, skills and competence by taking education to the doorsteps
of people living even in remote rural areas;
• to disseminate learning and knowledge through an innovative multi-media teaching-

learning system;
• to provide high quality education at all levels; and

to coordinate and determine the standards of Distance Education and Open University
•
Systems throughout the country.
The salient features of this system of education are:
• study according to' your own pace and convenience;
• study at your own chosen place;
• flexibility in choosing courses and combination of courses for a wide range of
. disciplines/subjects; and
• use of modern and appropriate educational and communication tec1mology.
Student support services are provided by the university through a network of study centres spread
all over the country. Study centres are the actual focal points to enable you to receive regular
information and learning support. Each study centre provides you with library. audio and video
facilities to further help you in the learning process. Senior and experienced academics and experts
in Disaster Management are engaged it face-to-face counselling at study centres. The study centres
are generally located in existing educational institutions and normally function on all holidays and
Sundays and also in the evenings on working days. Each study centre is supervised by a
Coordinator. Regional centres have been set up in different parts of the country to coordinate
the functioning of study centres.
2. INTRODUCTION TO THE PROGRAMME

The natural and' man-made disasters often involve a fatal combination of forces of natural and
human error. Disasters strike with sudden violence, .earing bodies, destroying lives, families and
structures apart. India has a dubious history of being hit by at least one major disaster every
year. This alarming regularity calls fo some strategies to mitigate the effects of disasters by taking
into account disaster preparedness measures and also by emphasising upon systematic post-disaster
rehabilitation activities. Thus to be effective, disaste management needs to be implemented as
a comprehensive and continuous activity ~nd not as post-disaste specially built mainly as a strategy
to individual disaster circumstances and effects. '
Universities can play a crucial role in providing education in the field of disaster management.
IGNOU by virtue of being an apex body of higher learning in distance mode is most suitably
5
placed at exercising leadership in promoting and re-inforcing education, information and awareness.
in the field of disaster management.
The Certificate Programme in Disaster Management (CDM) aims at providing knowledge to the
learners inthe areas of disaster preparedness, prevention, mitigation, relief, reconstruction and
rehabilitation.

5. INSTRUCTIONAL SYSTEM
The methodology of instruction in this University is different from that in the conventional universities.

in the teaching-learning process. Most of the instructions are imparted through distance rather
than face-to-face communication.
The University follows a multi media approach for instruction. It comprises
• self-instructional print material
• audio and video cassettes
• audio-video programmes transmitted through Radio and Doordarshan
• teleconferencing
• interactive radio counselling

5.1 Print Material

Print material is the primary form of instructional material, although there will be a few audio-
video programmes and counselling sessions in addition to the print material. Therefore, you have
to concentrate mainly on the print material that we send to you.
, . '
The print material prepared by the University is selfinstructional.in nature. Each course has been
divided into a number of Blocks. Each Block consists of a number of Units (lessons). Normally,
all the Units covered in one Block have a thematic unity. The first page of each Block indicates
the contents of each Block i.e.; the number and titles of the Units covered in that' Block. This
is followed by a brief introduction to the Block. This Block introduction explains the total coverage
of the Block as a whole as well as the coverage of each Unit in that Block.
Each Unit is structured to facilitate self study for you. The section on Objectives briefly states
what we expect you to attain when you have completed the Unit. In Introduction, there is an
attempt to forge a link with the topics of the prev.io~ Units and the topic to be covered in
'_ .the present Unit. This is followed by the mainbody of the Unit, which is divided into various
sections and subsections. In the main body there are a few self-check exercises under the caption
Check Your Progress, Enough space is given for you to write your answers to the questions
set in the self-check exercises. Answers to these exercises are given in the section Answers to
Check Your Progress Exercises at the end of the Unit.
7
The section Let Us. Sum Up summarises what has been said in the whole Unit. This summary
enables you to recall the main points covered in the Unit. To facilitate comprehension, important
words/terms covered in the Unit are explained in the section Key words. Some books for
additional reading are suggested in the section Some Useful Books. For your reference purpose
some of these books are normally available at the study centre. The Check Your Progress
Exercises are for your practice only, and you should not submit answers to these questions
to the University for assessment.
Read the Units carefully and note down the important points. You can use the space in the margin
of the printed pages for making notes and writing your comments. While reading the Units mark
the words that, you do not fully understand. Look for the meaning of such words under the
section Key words or in a dictionary. Read the Unit again and again until you have understood
the point. You may also try to find it in earlier Units as it may be explained there. However,
if you still do not understand something, consult your counsellor during the face-to-face sessions
at the Study Centre for clarification.
Try to answer Check Your Progress questions. These exercises will help you reinforce the
informationlknowledge you gain through your first reading of the text. Proper comprehension of
the units and the points/notes made' by you while reading through the Units would help you in
answering the Check Your Progress Exercises given in the Units. Once you have written the
answer in the blank space provided for each question, you can compare your answers with the
answer hints given in the section Answers to Check Your Progress Exercises.
5.2 Audio-Video Material
In addition to the print material, audio and video programmes have been prepared for each course.
The audio-video material is supplementary to the printed material. Hence, we advise you to make
use of it, as that will help you to understand the subject better. Video programmes are
transmitted by Gyan-Darshan. The transmission schedule is given in University News Letter,
which is sent to every student three times a year.
Audio-video material will not be supplied individually but will be made available to you at the
Study Centres. You can watch these programmes during counselling sessions. Students desirous
of buying the audio-video tapes can contact the Marketing Unit, EMPC, IGNOU, Maidan Garhi,
New Delhi-l 10068.
5.3 Teleconferencing
To reach our students spread in different parts of the country we take the help ofteleconferencing.
These sessions are conducted from Delhi. The students can attend these at the regional centres
of IGNOU. It is a one way video and two way audio facility. You will be sent a schedule with
topics in advance through your study centres. The faculty at Delhi and other experts as resource
persons participate in these sessions. You can put your problems and questions to these experts
through the telephone available at receiving centres. These will help in resolving your queries
related to courses and other general queries pertaining to programmes of study.

5.5 Counselling
In distance education, face-to-face contact between the learners and their tutors/counsellors is
an important activity. The purpose of such a contact is to answer some of your questions and
clarify your doubts which may not be possible through any other means of communication. It
is also intended to provide you an opportunity to meet fellow students. There are experienced
academic counsellors at the Study Centres to provide counselling and guidance to you in the
courses that you have chosen for study. The counselling sessions for each of the courses will
be held at suitable intervals throughout the whole academic sessions. The counselling sessions
are not compulsory. However, they may be very useful in certain respects such as: to
share your views on the subject with teachers and fellow participants, comprehend some of the
complex ideas or difficult issues, and get clarifications for your queries.
Pace-to-face counselling will be provided to you at the study centre assigned to you. You should
note that the counselling sessions will be very differrent from the usual classroom teaching or
lectures. Counsellors will not be delivering lectures. They try to help you overcome difficulties
which you face while studying for this programme. In these sessions you must look into the subject-
based difficulties and any other issues arising out of such difficulties. Besides, some of the audio
and video cassettes that are available at that time will be played in the counselling sessions.
Before you go to attend the counselling sessions, please go through your course material and
note down the points to be discussed. Unless you have gone through the Units, there may not
be much to discuss. Try to concentrate on the relevant and the most important issues. Also try
to understand each other's points of view. You may also establish personal contact with your
fellow participants to get mutual help for academic purposes. Try to get the maximum possible
help from your counsellors.
Generally there will be 10 counselling, sessions for an 8-credit course.

Coordinator of your Study Centre. •

11. DETAILS OF COURSES
1. FOUNDATION COURSE IN DISASTER MANAGEMENT (CDM-Ol) (8 Credits)
Disasters pose serious threat to the normal life as well as to the process of development. These
s!rike with sudden violence, tearing bodies, destroying lives, families and structures apart. Natural
disasters are both sudden and powerful. Human vulnerability to them is an age old-phenomenon.
The Foundation Course in Disaster Management, among other aspects, stands to familiarise the
learners with the meaning, factors, significance, causes and effects of disasters. Besides providing
the regional and seasonal profile of natural disasters in India, the Course also presents a global
view of the disasters. In keeping with the peculiarities of various disasters, the Course deals
with the vulnerability, impact and effects, nature of damage, predictability, forecasting, etc., of
various disasters namely Earthquake. Flood, Cyclone, Drought and Famine, Landslide and Snow
Avalanche, Fire and Forest Fire, Industrial and Technological Disasters, and Epidemics. In order
to create and sustain awareness of disasters among the community and to upgrade the information,
knowledge and skills of the Governmental and Non-governmental Organisations' personnel dealing
with disaster mitigation and management, the Course lays emphasis on disaster preparedness.
To this effect, we shall be dealing specifically with essentials of disaster preparedness viz. planning,
communication, leadership and coordination, and warehousing and stock piling. To strengthen the
resilience and self-confidence of local communities and to enable them to develop Community
Action Plans to deal with pre and post disasters situations, the Course focuses on human behaviour
and response; techniques for effective community participation, beliefs and myths regarding
disasters, and ways to collect relevant information pertaining to disasters as well as effective
dissemination of such information. It is a known fact that various agencies play different and
significant roles in dealing with situations of disasters. Thus, we shall describe the roles of District
Administration, Military and Para-military forces, Ministries and Departments at the Central and
State levels, Non-governmental Organisations, International Agencies and Media.
