• The Disaster Management Act, 2005, broadly defines human suffering as an outcome of disasters, encompassing a wide range of impacts beyond just physical injuries. This includes psychological trauma, displacement, loss of livelihood, and disruption of social networks, all of which contribute to human suffering. Modern disaster management principles recognize that the well-being of affected individuals extends far beyond immediate physical harm, addressing mental health, long-term recovery, and community resilience as critical components of humanitarian response.
