What are the key elements of disaster management in India and how effective is the current system

Describe the various elements of the disaster management system in India and evaluate their effectiveness in mitigating disasters.
The key elements of disaster management in India include: 1. Preparedness: This involves the development of early warning systems, emergency response plans, and capacity building of both the government and the community. 2. Response: This includes the mobilization of emergency services, search and rescue operations, medical assistance, and the provision of relief materials to affected areas. 3. Recovery: This focuses on the restoration of infrastructure, livelihoods, and psychosocial support for affected individuals and communities. 4. Mitigation: This involves measures to reduce the impact of disasters, such as land-use planning, building codes, and public awareness campaigns. Overall, the disaster management system in India has made significant progress in recent years. The establishment of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has facilitated coordination between different stakeholders. However, challenges remain in terms of timely response, communication, and effective implementation of mitigation measures. Continuous efforts are needed to improve the effectiveness of the system and build resilience against disasters.
