LIVESTOCK MANAGEMENT AT DIFFERENT LEVELS OF DISASTERSTRATEGY AND EXECUTION

Livestock population is the first to be affected in the precarious situations due to natural
disasters viz, flood, drought, cyclone, volcanic eruption, earthquake, Tsunami etc. At that time.
large scale transportation of feed and fodder becomes more difficult to the affected areas.
transported food for human feeding is tried to be maintained. Because in that period, main
target of rescue , relief and rehabilitation is restricted for the people of affected area. Little or
meager help is extended towards the livestock popul~tion. Most of the government and nongovernment
organizations generally remain busy for the welfare of human beings. As a matter of
fact, due to this negligence, a very difficult situation gradually arises which makes it incapable of
controlling the losses due to massive spread of epidemic diseases, particularly during the postdisaster
period.
