Here are some recent advancements in technology related to disaster management in India:

• Early warning systems: Various organizations are using advanced technology to create an early warning system for natural disasters like floods, cyclones, and earthquakes.
• Satellite imagery: At the time of disasters, remote sensing satellites are used to monitor the ongoing situation in real-time, and first responders can be alerted and deployed accordingly.
• Drones: These are used for post-disaster surveillance, mapping and delivering essential supplies.
• Social media: Social media platforms are utilized for real-time tracking of disasters, spreading awareness among the population and emergency communication purposes.

Unfortunately, in the scenario of the collision between truck and the passenger vehicle in Ratnagiri, these advancements may not have had much of a role to play, as this was an accident that occurred due to human error. Nonetheless, the use of technology in disaster management remains crucial for minimizing the impact of various other types of disasters.
