Response Force (NDRF) team on their Raising Day.
• He mentioned: Disaster management is a vital subject for governments and
policy makers. In addition to a reactive approach, where disaster management
teams mitigate the situation post disasters, we also have to think of disaster
resilient infrastructure and focus on research in the subject.
• India has undertaken an effort in the form of the ‘Coalition for Disaster Resilient
Infrastructure.’ We are also working on further sharpening the skills of our NDRF
teams so that we can save maximum life and property during any challenge.”
