Disaster Management in Indian Polity

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Governed by the Disaster Management Act, 2005, creating the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) led by the Prime Minister. States have State Disaster Management Authorities, while district authorities handle ground operations. The Act emphasizes preparedness, prevention, and response coordination among agencies. Constitutional provisions allow the declaration of disasters at the state’s request, releasing funds from the National Disaster Response Fund or State Disaster Response Fund. Disaster management intersects with federal structures, needing synergy between Union and states. While significant progress in early warning systems and capacity building has occurred, challenges remain in funding, local training, and swift rehabilitation measures.
