The Government of India has taken several measures to ensure disaster management in vulnerable areas. Some of the key initiatives taken by the government in recent years to manage and minimize the damage caused by disasters in vulnerable areas are:

• Establishment of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and State Disaster Management Authorities (SDMAs)
• Formulation of National Disaster Management Plan (NDMP) and State Disaster Management Plan (SDMP) that focus on prevention, preparedness, mitigation and response
• Investing in information and communication technologies (ICT) for early warning and disaster management
• Improving infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and buildings in disaster-prone areas
• Capacity building through training and awareness programs for rescue teams, volunteers, and communities
• Establishment of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF)
• Collaboration with international organizations for sharing of best practices and resources
• Development of schemes for financial assistance and rehabilitation of affected communities

These initiatives have helped to strengthen the disaster management system in India and reduce the impact of disasters in vulnerable areas.
