The immediate area of disaster was divided into 3 sectors for easy control and management of all rescue operations.The rescue operations were terminated on 21st　March 1986 when all the survivors had been rescued and dead bodies removed.  CW-1985-000007-USA Cold Wave United States A cold wave brought extreme temperatures and winter storms to much of the Eastern half of the United States in mid to late January.   TC-1985-000006-USA Tropical Cyclone United States Hurricane Gloria struck the eastern seaboard and caused more than $11 billion worth of damage to states from North Carolina to Maine.   TC-1985-000005-USA Tropical Cyclone United States Hurricane Elena was listed as a Category 3 hurricane as it made landfall from Florida to Louisiana causing more than $3 billion in damage.  VO-1985-000004-COL Volcano Colombia Eruption of Mt.Ruiz  EQ-1985-000003-MEX Earthquake Mexico A powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 8.1 Richter scale hit Mexico City and other area at 7:19AM, September 19,1985.

The storm caused more than $2 billion in damage.   VO-1980-000002-USA Volcano United States The May 18, 1980, eruption was the most destructive in the history of the United States. Novarupta (Katmai) Volcano, Alaska, erupted considerably more material in 1912, but owing to the isolation and sparse population of the region affected, there were no human deaths and little property damage. In contrast, Mount St. Helens' eruption in a matter of hours caused loss of lives and widespread destruction of valuable property, primarily by the debris avalanche, the lateral blast, and the mudflows. Landscape changes caused by the May 18 eruption were readily seen on high-altitude photographs. Such images, however, cannot reveal the impacts of the devastation on people and their works. The May 18 eruption resulted in scores of injuries and the loss of 57 lives. Within the United States before May 18, 1980, only two known casualties had been attributed to volcanic activity - a photographer was struck by falling rocks during the explosive eruption of Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii, in 1924; and an Army sergeant who disappeared during the 1944 eruption of Cleveland Volcano, Chuginadak Island, Aleutians. Autopsies indicated that most of Mount St. Helens' victims died by asphyxiation from inhaling hot volcanic ash, and some by thermal and other injuries. Accurate cost figures remain difficult to determine. Early estimates were too high and ranged from $2 to $3 billion, primarily reflecting the timber, civil works, and agricultural losses. A refined estimate of $1.1 billion was determined in a study by the International Trade Commission at the request of Congress. A supplemental appropriation of $951 million for disaster relief was voted by Congress, of which the largest share went to the Small Business Administration, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.  DR-1980-000001-USA Drought United States Central and eastern U.S.; estimated $20.0 (48.4) billion damage/costs to agriculture and related industries; estimated 10,000 deaths (includes heat stress-related).  HT-1980-000001-USA Heat Wave United States Central and eastern U.S.; estimated $20.0 (48.4) billion damage/costs to agriculture and related industries; estimated 10,000 deaths (includes heat stress-related).  TC-1979-000001-USA Tropical Cyclone United States NOAA reports $2.3 billion in losses.   EQ-1976-000001-MMR Earthquake Myanmar M=6.8,several pagodas in Bagan Ancient City were severely damaged.  TC-1975-000001-MMR Tropical Cyclone Myanmar 303 dead,10191 cattle lost,246700 homes destroyed, estimated loss 446.5 million kyat.  CE-1972-000003-PHL Complex Emergency Philippines In 2003, Manila opened peace negotiations with the MILF in the hope of ending the group's 32-year war for an independent Muslim state on Mindanao.
