To create a better Disaster Management programme that involves effective ways to mitigate disasters, keep up to the principles of preparedness, recovery and to accommodate geographical aspects for a multi-hazard prone disaster country like India. When disaster strikes, three facilities are in need of the hour that goes hand-in- hand: rescue, refuge and recuperation. By studying disaster maps, disaster management hierarchy, case studies related to modularity in structures like Able Nook and Dymaxion, helps understand the efforts required for disaster management. The possibility of having multiple disasters at the same time along with different development and population index, indicate we need to analyze more parameters for disaster relief. In conclusion, with design sustainability and innovation, resilience and mitigation towards disaster can be faster. Disaster management is beyond providing shelter and distributing relief materials - it must be implemented in urban planning, architecture, civil and structural engineering.
