How does India's disaster management framework differ from the rest of the world

Discuss the measures taken by India's disaster management authorities.
India's disaster management framework differs from the rest of the world in several ways. Here are some measures taken by India's disaster management authorities:
  • India has a dedicated statutory body named National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) for holistic, integrated and comprehensive management of disasters at the national level.
  • It has established a robust communication system in all the regions and states that play a vital role in identifying, warning, and evacuating people from the affected areas.
  • It is the first country to develop a web-enabled system that can generate tsunami alerts within 10 minutes.
  • India has one of the largest volunteer networks named National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) for an immediate response to disasters.
  • The country has developed a comprehensive disaster management plan, which focuses on risk assessment, capacity-building, and integrated planning.
  • India has also developed partnerships with international organizations to enhance coordination, share knowledge, and achieve better results in disaster management.
These measures reflect the country's commitment to managing disasters efficiently and effectively, and they have helped to save lives and reduce the impact of disasters on communities and the economy.
