We per Coalition on Disaster Initiative CDRI, Media is an integral part of disaster management. Role of Media in Disaster Management: (1) Disseminating information in timely manner for effective evacuation (as done during Amphan cyclone). (2) Creating Awareness among people about disaster management. eg Cover head under cable during earthquake. (3) In highlighting infrastructural loopholes in disaster preparedness eg Stormy blockage, pipe. (4) In ensuring effective implementation of legal measures like CRZ Rules and can expose encroachments, deforestation issues. (5) Role as mediator between victim, government and administration. (6) In collecting pan-India donations for relief measures (as during Kerala flood). Way Forward: (1) Fix specific time per week or month to create awareness. (2) Sensitive media reporting during disaster. (3) Role as vigilantor in checking structural and non-structural measures. Thus only media will prove very as fourth pillar of Democracy.
