Some of the key challenges faced by Disaster Management in India include:

• Lack of preparedness: India is a disaster-prone country, but there is a lack of preparedness at all levels – national, state, and local. This results in delayed response and inadequate relief measures.
• Poor Infrastructure: The country's infrastructure is inadequate and unable to withstand the impact of disasters, especially in rural areas.
• Population Pressure: India's high population density poses a significant challenge in the event of a disaster, causing overcrowding, and increasing the need for relief and rehabilitation efforts.
• Communication Gaps: Communication is crucial in disaster management. Still, there are communication gaps between different agencies that hinder the timely mobilisation of resources and coordination of relief efforts.
• Climate Change: India is experiencing the impact of climate change, leading to increased frequency and severity of natural disasters, such as floods, landslides, and droughts.

To overcome these challenges, there must be a focus on:

• Improving infrastructure and preparedness by investing in early warning systems, building digital communication networks, and stockpiling essential supplies.
• Strengthening coordination and communication among different agencies involved in disaster management.
• Increasing public awareness through education and outreach programs to promote disaster preparedness and risk reduction measures.
• Encouraging research and development of new technologies to address emerging challenges posed by climate change.
• Collaborating with international agencies to share best practices and learn from the experiences of other disaster-prone countries.
