To ensure effective disaster management in India, the following measures can be adopted:

• Establishing a strong institutional framework that involves both the government and civil society in disaster management planning, response and recovery operations.
• Developing and maintaining disaster preparedness plans and contingency plans at the national, state, and local levels.
• Strengthening the communication systems for disseminating early warning messages to the communities in advance of any disaster.
• Training and capacity building of first responders and community members in disaster response and recovery operations.
• Ensuring that critical infrastructure such as hospitals, power plants, airports, and transportation networks are fortified against disasters.
• Undertaking risk assessment and hazard mapping to identify vulnerable communities and take precautionary measures well in advance.
• Enhancing the coordination and collaboration between different disaster management agencies such as National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), Indian Coast Guard, and state institutions.
• Establishing comprehensive financial and legal frameworks to ensure adequate funding and resources for disaster management operations in India.

By adopting these measures, India can significantly improve its disaster management system and be better equipped to handle any future disasters.
