Natural Disasters — Prelims Strategy
Prelims Strategy
Focus on factual recall of disaster classification, institutional framework (NDMA structure), international frameworks (Sendai Framework targets), and specific examples with dates and locations. Memorize seismic zones of India, cyclone naming conventions, and disaster management act provisions.
Practice questions linking climate change with changing disaster patterns. Pay attention to recent disasters and government responses. Use elimination techniques by identifying obviously wrong options first.
Create mental maps of disaster-prone regions in India. Remember specific numbers like Sendai Framework's seven targets and four priority areas. Focus on definitional clarity between different disaster types and management approaches.
