22.  Challenges &Areas of Concern
 Funding : Primacy of relief as disaster response.
 Preparedness and Mitigation very often ignored.
 Lack of integrated efforts to collect and compile data,
information and local knowledge on disaster history
and traditional response patterns.
 Need for standardised efforts in compiling and
interpreting geo-spatial data, satellite imagery and
early warning signals.
 Weak areas continue to be forecasting, modelling, risk
prediction, simulation and scenario analysis, etc.

23. Relief Funds In India
 Prime Minister's National Relief Fund (PMNRF) in
India is the fund raised to provide support for people
affected by natural and man made disasters. Natural
disasters covered under this include flood, cyclone,
