Disaster Resilient India

Natural hazards are becoming more frequent and intense globally. Though natural phenomena cannot be controlled, we do have capacities to mitigate their impact in terms of human and property losses, by timely preparation, response, preventive measures and capacity development. India has achieved some technological and institutional progress in dealing with natural disasters. More work need to be done in a systematic manner. The objective of this group is to pool together innovative ideas for practical solutions on how to bring in improvements in the whole gamut of activities for disaster management by various stakeholders including citizen.

India faces many natural hazards, including floods, cyclones, drought etc. But every hazard need not turn into a disaster. By careful planning, capacity building, early warning, community participation, procurement and pre-positioning of necessary equipment and resources, participation of civil society, assigning clear role to the private sector, involving panchayati raj institutions and urban local bodies, rigorous enforcement of techno-legal regime on land use and building regulations etc., significant reductions of losses can be brought about in such events. We have a national policy on disaster management, at http://ndmindia.nic.in/NPDM-101209.pdf
