Earthquakes are the most feared natural hazards, as they occur without any recognizable warning, are unpredictable in space and time and inflict heavy losses in less than a minute duration. To reduce earthquake risk, each country needs to examine its strengths and weaknesses, build on the strengths and systematically take actions which reduce or eliminate the weaknesses. Public education and community participation is the key to success of the implementation of reduction and mitigation programmes. Jammu and Kashmir has been a region of major seismic activity. Srinagar city has been shaken numerous times by earthquakes in the past millennium, most recently by damaging earthquakes in 1885 and 2005. The purpose of the study is to propose an Earthquake disaster management model for Srinagar City applicable at the household level. The principle of this model is to protect the inhabitants of a household against the risk of an earthquake hazard. As per the model, for the management of earthquakes, at the household level, we need to focus on the structural and non-structural components.
