The Indian government has made significant efforts in disaster management planning to address natural calamities and external threats. Some of the measures taken by Indian authorities include:

• Establishment of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) to formulate policies, plans, and guidelines for disaster management at the national level.
• The creation of State Disaster Management Authorities (SDMAs) to implement disaster management plans at the state level.
• Development of an early warning system for disasters, including cyclones, floods, and earthquakes.
• Training and capacity building of first responders, such as police, fire, and medical personnel.
• Pre-positioning of relief materials and rescue equipment in disaster-prone areas.
• Collaboration with community-based organizations to enhance disaster preparedness and response.
• Implementation of structural and non-structural measures for disaster risk reduction.
• The formation of specialized disaster response forces, such as the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), to lead rescue and relief operations.
• Rapid deployment of resources during emergencies through the National Crisis Management Committee.
• The development of a comprehensive disaster management plan, including provisions for recovery and rehabilitation.

These efforts have significantly improved the ability of the Indian government to respond to natural disasters and external threats. However, challenges remain, and there is a need for continuous monitoring and improvement of disaster management plans and initiatives.
