The Indian government takes several measures to manage disasters like cyclones. The following are some of the steps taken by the government in case of an approaching cyclone:

• The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) closely monitors weather changes and provides timely updates on any potential cyclonic activity. They issue alerts and warnings to the state government and other government agencies to take necessary measures to avoid loss of lives, property damage, and economic loss.
• The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) is responsible for coordinating disaster response and mitigation efforts across the country. The NDMA provides guidelines and protocols for disaster management for the different agencies and local authorities to follow.
• The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) is a specialized disaster response force under the NDMA that is trained to provide immediate rescue and relief operations during disasters like cyclones. The NDRF is divided into ten battalions stationed across India, ready to deploy at any time during a crisis.
• The state governments activate their respective State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) units under the overall command of the NDRF to undertake rescue and relief operations.
• Local authorities take steps to evacuate people from low-lying areas and vulnerable settlements and establish community-based cyclone preparedness programs to promote resilience and minimize loss. Evacuated people are given shelter, food and medical aid at designated centers in the district.
• The central and state governments have committed to investment in building and repairing coastal infrastructure such as sea-walls, cyclone shelters and evacuation routes to minimize the impact of cyclonic activity.

The above measures are some of the ways in which the Indian government plans to minimize the impact of cyclones and manage disasters.
