Natural disasters are considered as an impediment to development. The consequences of disasters
may stop or slow down the development both locally and globally.While disasters are
a threat to sustainable development, sometimes the conventional development approaches
are also responsible for inducing disaster risks. This paper is intended to underscore the need
for disaster oriented development approaches for sustained development, and call for the
incorporation of disaster management education into development studies and vice versa
for proper understanding of related issues.
