Disaster Management

Disaster Management: India has been vulnerable to various natural disasters duc to its geo-climatic conditions. About 60% of ite landmass is prone to earthquakes; over 40 million hectares is prone to floods; 68% of the area is susceptible to drought and out of 7,500 km of coastline, close to 5,700 km is prone to cyclones, the Tsunami disaster, which struck five coastal States/Union Territories (UTs) in India in December 2004 has further highlighted the vulnerability of the coastal areas. Fire incidents, industrial accidents and othen man-made disasters involving chemical, biological and radioactive materials are additional hazards, All this has underscored the need for strengthening mitigation, preparedness and response measures.The basic responsibility for undertaking rescue, reliet and rehabilitation measures in the event of a disaster rests with the concerned State Government. The Central Government supplements the efforts of the State Governments by providing logistic and financial support in case of severe natural calamities. The logistic support includes deployment of aircrafts and boats, specialist teams of Armed Forces, Central paramilitary forces and personnel of National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), and makes arrangements for relief materials and essential commodities including medical stores, restoration of critical infrastructure facilities including communication network and such other assistance as may be required by the affected States to meet the situation effectively.
