The challenges in disaster management during natural calamities in India are varied and complex. Some of the major issues faced by authorities while dealing with disasters such as floods and earthquakes are:

• Lack of preparedness and planning
• Inadequate infrastructure and resources
• Lack of coordination between various agencies and stakeholders
• Poor communication and dissemination of information
• Inadequate financial resources and funding
• Ineffective evacuation and rescue operations
• Lack of proper medical facilities and supplies

In order to address these challenges, it is important for authorities to prioritize disaster preparedness and allocation of resources.
