Such serious effects on a community can be traced to poor disaster management arrangements. Several project management concepts as well as technologies have been researched and proven to improve disaster management. This article reviews existing literatures to make evident the concepts of project management such as project planning, execution, team collaboration and governance as well as technologies with a focus on the Internet of Things (IoT) through provision of early warning signs for mitigation and preparedness, big data analytics (BDA) for information gathering and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for emergency relief scenarios in disaster management.

The plant growth attributes of garlic like plant height, number of leaves, bulb weight, bulb diameter and number of cloves per bulb significantly decreased in coriander, ajwain and nigella seed spices intercropping. Significant increase in plant growth attributes and yield were recorded with fenugreek intercropping. Garlic cultivation with the intercropping of coriander was found to have lowest yield (81.61 q ha–1). Highest net return( `1.69 lakh ha–1) was recorded with nigella intercropping. The intercropping of coriander yield minimum value of gross return, net return and lowest cost benefit ratio of 2.75. The market price of garlic was lower during the year 2017-18, so farmers are advised to practice intercropping of nigella or fenugreek with garlic for better profit appreciation.Not Availabl
