If you truly seek to evaluate usage of "Disaster Management" (and don't think doing this is a waste of valuable time considering the time constraints placed on this process), then why are you asking for a vote of people; most of whom are not actively involved in the domain? What weight would your vote carry? Surely you should be asking the UN, the International Red Cross, the Salvation Army, National Disaster Response Agencies... Not this group! Don
