   Students have a major role to play in managing disasters. They can:
   Spread awareness about disasters and tips to handle them.
   Organise mock camps in their holidays in neighboring villages to train people to cope up with disasters like earthquakes
   Be part of 'emergency rescue teams' - mostly the training goes side by side along with 'compulsory military training' programs (another opinion: search and rescue is a highly specialized job and should be left to professionals)
   
   A big aspect of disaster management is preparedness.
   
   The basic role of the student is AWARENESS of what to do during and after disasters. This would lessen panicking, paranoid and uncontrollable people running around. Knowing what to do when disaster strikes will also lessen the death toll. Knowing what to do after disaster, and at least basic first aid, will enable students help the authorities in saving lives.
