Fire safety knowledge, perception, and practices among healthcare workers are fundamental for ensuring the safety of patients, staff, and infrastructure within hospital settings, especially in areas like Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir, which are susceptible to natural calamities. Notably, Srinagar has experienced a high incidence of fire events in recen...
Severe weather events, such as heat waves, floods, pollution, and health threats, are becoming more common in metropolitan places across the world. Overcrowding, poor infrastructure, and fast, unsustainable urbanization are some of the problems that India faces, and the country is also susceptible to natural disasters. This research analyzes climat...
Increasing population density leads to higher building density and significant alterations in urban land use and land cover (LULC). Particularly, the expansion of built-up areas substantially influences land surface temperature (LST), contributing to the formation of urban heat islands (UHI). This study aims to determine the relationship between UH...
Lindane is the γ-isomer of hexachlorocyclohexane, used extensively in modern agriculture. It enters into the food chain and adversely impacts various life forms. The pesent paper discusses the nature's microbial remediation mechanism of transforming toxic substances into non-toxic metabolites which helps in biodegradation pathways, and possibilitie...
There is no universal definition for drought and it is not possible to identify the beginning and end of a drought season, unlike earthquake or flood. Drought is the most complex of all the natural disasters Drought and associated famines were reported in history as a chronic problem to mankind and still remains an unconquered issue especially in d...
Sendai Framework identifies Climate Change as one of the drivers of disasters. Disasters are responsible for causing substantial damage globally. This, in turn, results in a severe environmental and economic burden on living conditions as well as management of additional waste created by disasters. Disaster Waste Management has been identified as a...
Infrastructure is imperative for development and links closely to achieving the desired GDP-growth of countries and regions. Both social and economic infrastructure developments are required in the changing phase of human development where urbanization and rural to urban transition is rapid. Increasing population and changing political economic rea...
Inter-linkages between disasters, environmental degradation, and climatic changes are well recognised as well as linking disaster risk reduction with environmental management. All climate change adaptation measures lead to disaster risk proofing reduction but not vice versa. Integration of DRR with CCA and sustainable development is now becoming pr...
Climate change is adversely impacting all three pillars of sustainability (Environment, Economic, and Social). Arguably, the most impacted natural resource and through which its negative impacts are strongly felt is ‘water’ (in the form of water insecurity). In developing countries, climate change, rapid urbanization, unplanned development, defores...
Increased frequencies of extreme climate events have been a matter of grave concern for the South Asia region. Disasters and environment have been well observed for being interlinked in multiple ways. Deforestation and forest degradation, rapid land-use change, and overexploitation of natural resources are compounding natural vulnerabilities. For r...
Climate is changing, and effects can be seen across the world. The climatic disturbances triggered due to earth’s heating is putting industrial areas at risk.
