Abstract
The study critically examines the principles, mechanisms, and effectiveness of different damage control techniques in dealing with natural disasters, emphasizing their pivotal role in minimizing casualties and economic losses. Each of these damage control techniques is mapped based on their applications and relevance in the key areas of natural disaster management. By utilizing various real-world instances, the present study shows that the effective implementation of various innovative techniques is shaping the space of natural disaster management in a global context. The integration of different innovative techniques into the existing natural disaster management system has improved the survival rate, economic performance, and sustainable development. The study finds that innovative disaster financing models, clear strategies, and creating awareness among communities can improve the overall efficiency of innovative techniques that are currently used for damage control during natural disaster events. Despite the substantial advantages of these creative strategies, the study acknowledges challenges such as financial constraints, unclear policy goals, and community adaptation requirements. The study also indicates that in the future, automatic damage restoration, quick prototyping, and additive engineering will play a vital role in controlling damage from catastrophic events, while it acknowledges limitations in temporal scope, generalizability, and financial constraints.
