Abstract
Natural disasters and their consequent damages are considered to be the biggest challenges facing countries, organizations, and human beings on the Earth. Natural disasters, cyclones, earthquakes, floods, etc., normally lead to a great loss of lives, destruction to the infrastructure, and subsequently an unexpected financial burden on the governments to restore things to their original status. Cyclone Gonu was the strongest tropical cyclone on record in the Arabian Sea, and it was one of the most devastating cyclones that hit Oman in recent history. The way by which the disaster was managed by the government authorities, private sector organizations, and the people of Oman played a vital role in reducing the effects of the disaster.
