The Indian government has taken several measures to ensure disaster management preparedness in coastal areas. Some of the measures include:

• Setting up of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) which is responsible for preparing disaster management plans and guidelines.
• Identification of vulnerable areas through hazard zonation maps.
• Establishment of disaster management centers, such as the National Center for Ocean Information Services (NCOIS) and Indian National Center for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) to provide early warning systems and weather forecasts to coastal states.
• Creating awareness among the local residents through campaigns, training workshops and mock drills that can help them to respond effectively during disasters.
• Strengthening of critical infrastructure such as hospitals, schools, and public buildings to withstand natural disasters.
• Construction of shelters and evacuation centers in case of emergencies.
• Establishment of a disaster relief fund, which provides financial assistance to the affected areas.
• Development of coastal engineering norms to minimize the impact of natural disasters such as storm surges and tsunamis on critical infrastructure.
• Adoption of the 'Coastal Regulation Zone' notification which restricts construction activities and regulates development in ecologically sensitive coastal areas.

These measures have significantly helped the government to mitigate the impact of natural disasters in coastal areas.
