A disaster is a serious disruption of the functioning of society, causing widespread human, material or environmental losses. The disaster can be avoided by "disaster management", which means a continuous and integrated process of planning, organizing, coordinating and implementing measures which are necessary or expedient for prevention of danger or threat of any disaster. Henceforth considering the command and control aspect of disaster management, a command and control system called C2 model has been designed in this paper for mitigation or reduction of risk of any disaster or its severity or consequences. The theory of command and control is changing with the emergence of new adversaries challenging the system and new technologies supporting it. Challenges instigate changes in strategy to accommodate them while new technologies enable new capabilities. These two forces drive the development of C2 theory. Command and control encompasses all planning and response functions and operations, giving them meaning and harmonizing them into a meaningful whole. Command and control is the means by which a commander recognizes what needs to be done and sees to it that appropriate actions are taken. Sometimes this recognition takes the form of a conscious command decision, as in deciding on a concept of operations. Sometimes it takes the form of a preconditioned reaction, as in immediate-action drills, practiced in advance so that we can execute them reflexively in a moment of crisis.
