India follows a comprehensive approach to disaster management, which includes a combination of preparedness, response, and mitigation. The government has taken various measures at the national and state levels to manage natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, and cyclones, effectively.

• The Disaster Management Act, 2005, provides a legal framework for disaster management and mandates the creation of national, state, and district-level disaster management authorities.
• The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), State Disaster Management Authorities (SDMA), and District Disaster Management Authorities (DDMA) have been set up to manage disasters effectively.
• The NDMA has developed the National Disaster Management Plan to improve overall management and coordination of disaster response at all levels.
• The government has also set up a National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) to provide specialized response during disasters.
• The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) continuously monitors weather patterns and provides timely alerts to citizens and authorities to take necessary measures in case of impending disasters.
• Communication is an essential aspect of disaster management. India has established an Early Warning Dissemination System (EWDS) to disseminate real-time alerts through various mediums like satellite, mobile phones, and sirens.
• Regular training and capacity building programs are conducted for disaster management personnel to enhance their response capabilities.
• The government works closely with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and international bodies to improve coordination and collaboration during disaster response.
• The government also provides financial assistance to states affected by disasters under the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) and State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF).

These measures ensure that India is proactively prepared to manage natural disasters and minimize the loss of life and property during such events.
