This report provides a comprehensive overview of disaster interventions, focusing on approaches to achieve quality and impact. It covers risk mitigation, response readiness, and response execution, linking these to the four Rs of disaster management. The report also examines relevant policies, such as The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, and discusses disaster risk reduction practices, emphasizing the role of risk assessment. Academic theories and models, including the integrated model of disaster management, are presented. A case study of the 2007 UK floods illustrates the long-term consequences of disasters and the importance of building back better. The report concludes by highlighting the need for continued efforts in disaster mitigation and recovery, emphasizing the role of effective strategies and clear models in disaster management.

INTRODUCTION
Disaster interventions refers to the natural & human made phenomena which may causes
various interruption to the day-to-day life routines. These phenomena are ordinarily very grave
that need the outer engagement and aid. Hence, there are calls for the gregarious activity
intervention in assisting people deals with consequence of the disaster in both long term and
immediate (Alathur, Kottakkunnummal and Chetty, 2021). Today human have the climate
change which is creating disaster caused by the extreme weather events linked with to the human
behaviour related to the burning fossil fuels & industrialisation procedure. Therefore, this report
is going to cover approaches used to attain quality and impact in the disaster intervention. Beside
it, this report will also include policy, practice and academic model. Further, there will be a
discussion on case study (intervention type) used and rational.
Approaches used to accomplish quality and impact in the disaster interventions
Approach of the disaster intervention seek to mitigate & address impact of the disaster.
These approaches analysed very carefully, not as an end point in themselves, but as a cycle
process, with an end of one stage marking start of another.
1

 Risk mitigation- It include reducing or eliminating probability of the disaster occurrence
to decline vulnerability from the unavoidable disaster taken before any disaster occurs.
Examples of the strategies and intervention might include change in the building codes
for fortifying building& revised zoning, vulnerability, preventive health care.
Strengthening of the infrastructure and land use management.
 Response readiness- It is normally designed form enabling the governments,
communities, organisations & individuals to respond quickly & efficaciously to disaster
situations. It includes the interventions such as emergency communications, early
warning systems, training programs, including exercises and tests, public education and
awareness (Azhar, 2022).
 Response execution/Relief- It is defined as a co-ordinated multi-actor effect to cut down
outcome of the hardship & its long-term consequence. It mainly consider the activity &
saving, condition of emergency shelter, food, medical aid, survey & charge, & removal
measurement.
These approaches and corresponding outcomes were placed within 4 Rs related to the disaster
management on the basis on information provided in the systematic review. The stages,
interventions & outcomes frequently overlapped. Section on findings & synthesis delves into the
details of this categorisation & overlaps (Dong and Lee, 2021).
Policies
Objectives of national policies on the disaster management include preparedness &
resilience at every levels through knowledge, Promoting a culture of the prevention and many
more. In relation to the disaster intervention there are various policies (Trueblood, 2021). Few
of these policies are mentioned below:
 The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022- this policy will utilize bulk of the praise
introduced by Grenfell Tower Inquiry in its Phase 1 study that needed changes in the
law. This policy seek to improve fire safety of blocks of the flats in ways that are
practical, proportionate to fire risk and cost effective for the individual leaseholders.
 The Cyclone Shelter Construction, Maintenance and 4 Management Policy 2011-
this policy was established by the government with the motive to ensure a proper
2

utilisation of multi-purpose cyclone shelters which have already been constructed, are to
be constructed and under construction in coastal areas.
Practices
Cognizance, designation, perceptive & measuring of the disaster peril are all important
promise of the disaster risk management. Disaster risk decrease practices is all roughly
determination & quality, consider lack of, so the risk subject matter has vital role in five key
region of the determination devising that are mentioned below:
 Risk identification- Because losses and damages reason by the historical disasters are
frequently not widely famed, & because the latent losses and restitution which could
originate from the coming disasters (like rare but high-impact outcome) may not be
famed at all, DRM is granted a low precedence. Befitting communicating of burly risk
content timely can raise an awareness & trigger action (Sheikhi, and et. al., 2021).
 Preparedness- Understanding related to geographical area stricken, along with strength
& frequency of various risk events, is captious when preparation emptying routes, make
shelters, & moving readiness drills. Supply criterion related to impact of the various risk
events—latent amount of the damaged buildings, injuries and fatalities, subsidiary
hazards—makes it easy to found realistic and detailed programme for a improved
consequence to the disasters, that can finally cut down badness of the negative or harmful
natural events.
 Resilient reconstruction- It has been analysed that Risk charge play a vital part in
outcome modelling earlier any case strikes (during prima up to cyclone, for example),
and it may render an first and speedy estimation of the human, economic, and physical
loss in an event’s contiguous aftermath. Furthermore, risk content for the bouncy
Reconstruction must be accessible before conducting any case since after an event there
is seldom time to gather the content required to communicate the spirited arrangement &
land-use program.
Academic theory and models
Incorporated model of the disaster management is the instrument to organise the active
activities to ensure effectual & cost-efficient implementation, & 4 component may known that
are: hazard assessment, risk management, mitigation & preparation.
3

Manitoba very famous integrated models. It belongs of mainly 6 self-directed factors, videlicet
strategic program, hazard assessment, risk management, mitigation, preparedness, & monitoring
& evaluation. Every constituent notice has the self limitation & include its own set of
activities & process. Main benefit of the model is which facilitate a balance among
preparation & flexibility for responding fluidly for peculiar needs of disasters. The respectvie
model gives a link among the actions & events in disasters, these links are binding or loose
(Soleh, Elvina and Halim, 2022).
Third class of these theory include cause framework which is not supported on an idea of
shaping phase in the structure. This class advise few implicit in causes of the disasters. This
framework is supported by the content which are some component that impact weakness to the
disasters. In respective framework, these component are called as element at danger such as lives
& properties of environment, mankind and substructure. Series of the exposure of any ownership
is discovered & implicit causes which fail to fulfill the individual demand identified. Then model
goes on to estimation dynamic force & unsafe conditions.
4 category belong to the combinative models in which integrated, diagnostic and origin models
are concerted for proposing the model. Cuny model done by collection of attribute of the 3
categories.
At last, 5 category applies to other model in the which there is not any characteristics of the
other stated class have been utilized. The models are assorted & refer to as the such condition
which artifact & templet of model is not placed in any of the 4 stated categories. The model
includes of mainly 8 stages: origin of the mistakes, an collection of the errors, warning, non
achievement of the rectification, disaster impending stages, triggering events, emergency phase
& disaster.
Case study
Case study of UK floods during 2007 is the part body of the work which policymakers
& governments across the world can draw on the measuring disaster preparation & searching to
completely understand, from lessons enlightened by the other, effect of:
accelerative personal levels of debt
displaced populations
alterations in the economic mix of the sector
4

Entire time for recovering
political upheaval
It purpose is for giving the deep understanding of the aftermath of the disasters on the longer
time and understanding of impact which insurance penetration have the pace of the economy
improvement. This address requires for better recognizing & explaining the value of “building
back better”; which is, reformative recovery where the structures are set & rebuilt to higher
standard to enhance a long-term resilience (Tan and et. al., 2021). Insurance industry has a
significant role for playing in ‘building back better’, to adequately price risk & encourage the
policyholders for involve in the precautional measures

CONCLUSION
From the above report, it has been concluded that world has improve a lot in the disaster
response. But still there is need for putting more efforts into the disaster mitigation & recover.
Effectual strategies of the disaster management will not merely prevent loss of the lives, but also
aid affected the individuals in rebuilding their lives in shortest possible time. Government has
formulated various policies related to the natural disaster so that individual or community can
overcome from the loss. From this report, it has been argued that the clear and defined model
is extremely advantageous in disasters management as it assists securing of the support for
disaster administration efforts. thus, disaster management requires formal system for the
managing & perhaps decrease negative outcome of a disaster by the effective and efficient
manner.
