Introduction

to India's Disaster Management

India is a country prone to natural disasters, with a long history of earthquakes, floods, cyclones, and droughts. The country's unique geography, with the Himalayas to the north and the Indian Ocean to the south, makes it vulnerable to a wide range of disasters. In recent years, India has made significant strides in disaster management, with a focus on emergency response and recovery.

Historical

Context of Disaster Management in India

The history of disaster management in India dates back to the 19th century, when the country was under British rule. The British government established the first disaster relief organization, the Indian Red Cross Society, in 1920. After independence, the Indian government established the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) in 2005, with the aim of coordinating disaster management efforts across the country.
