How does India's disaster management system respond in case of floods and cyclones

Describe the measures taken by India's disaster management system to deal with floods and cyclones and their effectiveness.
India's disaster management system is equipped to respond to flood and cyclone situations. Some of the measures taken by India's disaster management system to deal with floods and cyclones include:
  • Preparedness planning
  • Timely weather forecast updates and alerts to local authorities and stakeholders
  • Evacuation plans and shelters for affected populations
  • Deployment of search and rescue teams in affected areas
  • Supply of food, water, and medical aid to affected populations
  • Coordination and communication among different agencies and departments involved in disaster management
The effectiveness of these measures varies depending on the severity of the situation and the level of preparedness. In some cases, the disaster management system has been successful in minimizing the impact of floods and cyclones, while in others, there have been instances of delayed response and inadequate resources. However, India's disaster management system continues to improve and adapt to meet the challenges posed by natural disasters.
