Abstract: Disaster Management is the term which is recently popular in India. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has been constituted under the Disaster Management Act 2005, with the Prime Minister of India as its Chairman. The Government urges the importance of disaster management strongly and advised all the Academic Staff Colleges to conduct a Refresher Course on disaster management. In this context, it is essential to analyze the awareness about natural disasters and the management of disasters among the teachers of higher education. A questionnaire was administered among the University and College teachers and their answers were analyzed and computed. This study shows that the awareness about disaster management should be improved among the teachers of higher education. It also reveals that both the male and female teachers should be given in-service training in general awareness, activities and administration related to disaster management.
