The Indian government has a critical role to play in ensuring the safety and well-being of its citizens during natural disasters. Some measures taken by the Indian government include:

• Establishment of National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), State Disaster Management Authorities (SDMAs), and District Disaster Management Authorities (DDMAs) to manage and monitor disaster relief operations.
• Creation of Early Warning Systems to provide timely alerts to vulnerable communities, mitigating the loss of life and property damage.
• The government has set up search and rescue teams, which respond to any emergency calls during disaster times.
• The government provides financial assistance to the affected individuals and families, in terms of ex-gratia payments, compensation payments, and other relief measures.
• The Indian Army, Airforce, Navy and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), are empowered to assist during natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, and landslides.

These measures ensure that the government is proactive and takes necessary steps to protect the citizens from natural disasters.
