    ✐ ✐ ✐ ✐ Disasters in Tamil Nadu, India: Use of Media to Create Health Epidemic Awareness Sunitha Kuppuswamy & Dr. S. Rajarathnam Anna University Chennai, Chennai 600 025, India E-mail: [email protected] NDIA is a country prone to natural disasters. It has only 2.4% of the worlds I surface but an incredible 16.7% of the worlds population (MIB, 2009). The country has greater and increasing vulnerability to the socio-economic impacts of extreme weather events (floods, droughts, cyclones, hail storm, thunderstorm, heat and cold waves), due to large population growth, and mi- gration into urban areas (De et al., 2005). A natural disaster is the consequence of a natural hazard like an earth- quake, landslide, cyclone, flood, or tsunami which affects human activities. Human vulnerability in disasters is increased by poverty and the risk poten- tial for disasters. A lack of planning, preparedness and appropriate emergency management systems can lead to devastating to human, animal, economic, and environmental. The impact of natural disasters has been reduced by increas- ing preparedness for them, and when a disaster occurs, rapidly and effectively assessing the impact of same (BHRC, 2003). Preparedness includes the use of mass media which can be instrumental in promoting target-centric disas- ter preparedness. The need for an effective disaster management strategy to lessen disaster impact is increasingly being felt across India, as well as the awareness to involve and strengthen the preparedness of women and children to respond to disasters. This paper is concerned with disaster preparedness using a media campaign in Tamil Nadu, a south-eastern Indian coastal state vulnerable to many disasters that cause losses year after year.

Strengthening the C4ISR Capabilities of India’s Armed Forces: The Role of Small Satellites ABSTRACT Small satellites have gained considerable importance in recent years. Although small spacecraft have existed for decades, their military applications have recently gained prominence owing to technological advances in their development and integration into the armed services of the major spacefaring countries across the world. This paper analyses the significance of small satellites in the C4ISR capabilities of the three service branches of the Indian military. Small satellites are not a panacea for the C4ISR needs of the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force, but will help partially address their sensor-related requirements. They also contribute to a multi-layered and distributed capability for the Indian armed services. Investment in Small Satellites should assume greater salience in Indian defence planning in the coming years.
