The impacts on urban environment are perceived at various levels starting from household level, community level, city level and if unchecked can multiply to issues at regional or national level. This section highlights the environmental issues that need to be addressed to improve the environmental health of Devendranagar city. In order to create a sustainable and organized pattern of development of a city, environmental analysis is done to assess status of environmental quality and resources. This includes an analysis of relevant environmental parameters viz. climatic condition, physiographic condition, vegetation, air quality, water quality, water bodies, disaster preparedness & management, waste management etc. To assess vulnerability and preparedness to disasters a brief assessment of aspects of Disaster Management Plan has also been elaborated. The assessment of status of environmental quality and resources shall be major guiding factor and basis for formulation of projects and programmes of City development Plan 2035.
WHO defines Disaster as "any occurrence that causes damage, ecological disruption, loss of human life, deterioration of health and health services, on a scale sufficient to warrant an extraordinary response from outside the affected community or area". In other words, a disaster is a natural or man-made (or technological) hazard that has come to fruition, resulting in an event of substantial extent causing significant physical damage or destruction, loss of life, or drastic change to the environment. A disaster can be intensively defined as any tragic event with great loss stemming from events such as earthquakes, floods, catastrophic accidents, fires, or explosions. It is a phenomenon that causes huge damage to life, property and destroys the economic, social and cultural life of people.
