What are the challenges faced by India in the field of disaster management

Discuss the potential setbacks for disaster management due to the closure of USAID in India.
Challenges faced by India in disaster management are:
  • Geographic diversity: India's vast size and diverse terrain make it susceptible to various natural disasters like floods, cyclones, earthquakes, and landslides.
  • Capacity building: There is a need for increased training of first responders, development of early warning systems, and regular drills to improve preparedness.
  • Urbanization: Rapid urbanization has led to an increased vulnerability to disasters due to lack of proper infrastructure and planning.
The closure of USAID in India can lead to setbacks in disaster management such as:
  • Loss of expertise and resources: USAID's assistance played a crucial role in capacity-building and providing technical expertise in disaster management.
  • Reduction in funding: With USAID's exit, there may be a decrease in financial support for disaster response and recovery efforts.
  • Lack of collaboration: USAID's presence facilitated collaboration between India and international partners in disaster management initiatives.
