The government, both at the central and state level, have taken several measures to manage the annual floods in Assam.

• One of the primary measures includes the construction of embankments and flood-control structures to prevent the overflow of rivers and catchment areas.
• The deployment of National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) teams for search and rescue operations, evacuation, and relief distribution.
• The use of satellite imaging and early warning systems to monitor the condition of rivers and the possibility of floods.
• The establishment of temporary relief camps and distribution of relief materials such as food, clothing, and medicine.
• Identifying vulnerable areas and communities and working with them to develop disaster management plans and better Preparedness.

The central government has also taken several steps to assess the preparedness for flood management ahead of the monsoon season in Assam. These include:

• Conducting regular meetings with the state governments and other stakeholders to review the flood management plans and strategies
• Carrying out mock drills and exercises to test the preparedness and efficiency of disaster response teams and emergency services.
• Providing financial assistance and resources to the state governments to strengthen their flood management capabilities.
• Encouraging the use of advanced technology such as drones and satellite-based flood forecasting systems for effective disaster management.

These measures have significantly improved the response to flood disasters in Assam and have helped to mitigate the impact of floods in the region.
