what is the role of students in managing disaster?

Well, do you expect me to write you a 15 pg project? \n       I'll try my best with a few lines. \n     We, as students, are in a constant process of learning. So it is easiest for us to catch up with the latest developments in tackling calamities, both natural and man-made. \n           The Govt. has tried its best to do so by acquainting us with information about earthquakes, floods, avalanches and Tsunamis even! There are write-ups in language textbooks about the causes, warning signs, and necessary precautions to be taken in case of a disaster. \n          The least we students can do is to read these eye-opening lessons with attention and use this knowledge in saving lives. We are given first-aid training at school. If any disaster occurs, we can immediately offer first-aid and save valuable lives.\n          In student life, we have friends, some of them may be poorer than us and unable to attend school. We can tell them about all such precautionary measures and spread awareness in the community. \n         We are given physical training (PT) at school that includes \n, many times, adventure activities like swimming, river crossing, making temporary, rock-climbing, some of which we can put to use in rescuing people after such calamities. Even if we encourage fellow students in joining the NCC where training is given to handle delicate situations like fire, injury, and we are given due education for emergencies like building temporary tents, giving CPR, extinguishing fire etc. , it will be more than enough on our part as students to contribute to a society that will be better equipped to face any disaster in the future!\n                      \n                            \nPS. Do consider the above gentleman's advice; he's more experienced than me! All  that I said is only to be WRITTEN, not to be done without professional or parental advice! Please mind it!! God bless such enlightening souls!!!

Students need to learn themselves in order to know that clear path.  Learning to listen to yourself and not what everyone else says has a major affect on the outcome.  \n\nSometimes the student needs trial and error before determining their career path.  If one major doesn't feel right, maybe the next one will.

Remember that teaching in real life and teaching "concepts" and "methods" they teach you in school are very very different.  You have to be resourceful, patient, resilient, confident, creative, and strong!!!  Dealing with students daily is not easy and sometimes feel like a battle.  Also, there is a lot of politics involved with the administration and parents.  Be prepared for the worst and reap your rewards!

I think we need to stay out of everyone else's affairs and only offer help to them when they experience a natural disaster. That way, we appear sympathetic without being invasive.  We should use our troops to protect our own soil.

We have plans in place. There are entire departments devoted to bioterrorism surveillance.\n\nThere are protocols that have been standardized for dealing with major biological disasters. I work for a major metropolitan health department, so we train extensively for these things. Fortunately, we have not yet needed to use the training. \n\nWe use the the Incident Command System to organize ourselves to deal with disasters. That's a hierarchy to delegate tasks across groups of workers. Pick a person to be in charge of a small group. Let that person make orders, you report back with your info and duties.\n\nIn the event of any biological incident, my specific role as an epidemiologist would be to find the incident, identify it and control it. Of course, if there's a real disaster at hand, I think I'll have to do the same heavy lifting as everyone else. Gotta prioritize.

Understand what you're teaching and see it from your students' perspective. Motivate the students to study and show them by example how and when to study. \n\nTeach them the ways of "sang froid" (French: cold blood) - not allowing their personal lives to get in the way of their studies. If they giv up every time their heart is broken or they have a row with someone, they'll never get anywhere in life.\n\nAlso, make them understand that nothing comes from laziness or mere dreaming, but much can come from hard work. Boost their confidence so that they can overcome fear (the most common cause of any block, including writer's block). Use proverbs to help them, e.g. there's nothing to fear but fear itself.\n\nFinally, the best teachers are those that care so some experience as a social worker/counsellor will help.

I worked for the Government doing disaster relief, usually companies are protected, from events beyond their control, as in your case flooding,but you should check with your companies policies. Also if you have vacation, or any other paid holidays you might be able to use those. Good Luck

The right to an education should be enough.  Maybe you should be asking "What are students' responsibilities?"

Every nation should have an emergency response plan.  I don't know what you mean by "MKN", though.\n\nIt is abundantly clear that there is active geology not far away (Indonesia particularly).  It is also obvious that rain and storms are no stranger to the land.  Considering the political problems of the neighborhood and Islamist fundamentalists nearby, as soon as some of those figure the government isn't as strongly "with it" as they might like, then bombs and murderous mobs might be springing up anywhere and at anytime.  When things are bad, you need to act, not stop to wonder "Where and what do we need?"\n\nOf course, 'the best laid plans of mice and men" concept goes to work too.  The Katrina hurricane in the US showed a good example of "Murphey" and his famous "law" of what can go wrong will go wrong, as we had (1) supplies stockpiled and they were too close to the disaster, (2) political oversight that was either incompetent or too busy with their own little turf interests, or (3) too much assuming going on as to what lines of communication and conveyances would still be functional afterwards.  If we can fumble the ball so badly, so could Malaysia or anyone else for that matter--even with a plan.

I live in Florida so I know a little about hurricanes. 1) they are an act of nature and there is no defense against them 2) When one threatens my locale I go to a place where I will be safe and wait it out 3) Although governmental help is needed in the infrastructure each individual should be prepared to help themselves. I am aware that many people are not able to recover by themselves and need assistance, there is usually help to be had within a day or two. While I personally don't like president Bush I do ot hold him personally responsible for my well being. The agencies that are in place to provide relief have been in place far longer than he has been president. People who own their home should insure it, people who rent their homes can move, I know that this isn't a popular view but it is perhaps time that people began to take responsibility for their actions.

is disaster a choice?

in a lot of nations late teenagers are part of 'emergencyrescue teams' - mostly the training goes side by side along with 'compulsory military training' programs.\n\nA big aspect of disaster management is prepardness.\nthe preparedness phase emergency managers develops plans of action for when the disaster strikes. Common preparedness measures include the proper maintenance and training of emergency services, the development and exercise of emergency population warning methods combined with emergency shelters and evacuation plans, the stockpiling of supplies and equipment, the development and practice of multi-agency coordination etc. An efficient preparedness measure is an emergency operations center (EOC) combined with a practiced region-wide doctrine for managing emergencies. The purpose of the EOC is to coordinate the activities in the subsequent emergency response phase. Physically, the EOC may only be a couple of cabinets in a conference room combined with a significant group of professionals. The EOC have reliable external communications including access to civil and amateur radio networks.\n\nAs you can understand - all this can be a 10th standard project material - making sure that students can have a big role in the management.\n\nI would like to negate student community from search and rescue since that is a highly specialised job and should be left to professionals.(say firefigters, paramilitaries etc...)

I hear college kids have been going down on breaks to help people build houses.\n\nI would think the rescue portion of the work is long done,

Students should be allowed to have them because not only does it serve to protect them but it also enables them to be reached in times of an emergency...however they should be switched off during class.

You can do a project on the natural calamities happening in a particular place, the cause of the calamities and actions to be taken for that. It would be fun and you'll learn a lot.
