Natural Hazards & Disaster Management - GS 1&3

With Disaster Management mentioned in the heading of the syllabus in GS 3, it assumes more importance than earlier. 
Also, in GS1 syllabus "Important Geophysical phenomena such as earthquakes, Tsunami, Volcanic activity, cyclone etc" is there. 

The following document on "Natural Hazards and Disaster management"  by CBSE covers these topics pretty well and would suffice for these topics. Hope you find it useful.

Note making

The previous 2-3 posts are for new-comers to know how to make notes. Brief notes are helpful not only in revision but also provide flexibility in making the preparation exhaustive as 200 pages of brief notes can cover at least 400 topics.

Notes on topics like Science and Technology can be even more brief and should cover various aspects exhaustively.

Physical Geography notes

These notes have been made from NCERT book on Physical Geography. Couple of important chapters have not been covered as they need to read directly from the book. You can supplement this with Goh Cheng Leong.
In addition for location , Geography through Maps book by K Siddhartha should be used along with any good Atlas.

New syllabus topics related to Physical geography are:

• Important Geophysical phenomena such as earthquakes, Tsunami, Volcanic activity, cyclone etc., geographical features and their location- changes in critical geographical features (including waterbodies and ice-caps) and in flora and fauna and the effects of such changes.
• Salient features of world’s physical geography

Notes from PIB

To make notes from PIB website ( pib.nic.in) is extremely important as it covers almost all news which are related to government and administration. Some questions like steps taken to check piracy etc are answered point-wise in the releases.

My sample notes can be seen and downloaded...Some of them the static things might be useful to you but you need to update them with happenings each day till mid-November.
