India is a country that is highly vulnerable to natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, cyclones, and landslides. Disaster management and recovery has become a critical issue in the country due to the frequency and severity of such events. Some of the major concerns in India regarding disaster management and recovery are:

• Lack of appropriate infrastructure and trained personnel for disaster management.
• Inadequate allocation of budget for disaster management and recovery.
• Issues of inadequate coordination between government departments, various agencies and the local community.
• Difficulty in reaching and rendering help to remote and vulnerable populations.
• Challenges in ensuring that adequate relief and recovery measures are in place for disaster-affected communities.
• High levels of population density in certain areas makes it difficult for people to evacuate to safer areas during disasters.

These issues highlight the need for comprehensive and coordinated disaster management policies and plans in India.
