20. Preparedness
Response Mechanism:
•Cabinet committee on management of Natural Calamities
•National Crisis Management Committee
• NEC
•State Government
-SEC
-DDMA
-Sub-district Administration (SDM/Tehsildar, PRIs,
ULBs, police, civil defence, fire services, home guards,
NCC, NYK, Red Cross and civil society organisations)
•NDR Force
•SDR Force

21. Capacity Development
• Institutional arrangements for capacity development at
National and state level. (NIDM, Disaster Management
Centers in the states, NCDC, NFSC, NDRF).
• Efforts are made to mainstream Capacity Development
strategies in most of the ministries and Government
department at National, State and District Level.
• National Disaster Management Programme
• Capacity Building Grant under 13th
Finance Commission

22. Challenges in Disaster Response
• Early Warning Systems of IMD has predicted the
strength, movement of the cyclone ‘Phailin’ along
with possible location of landfall with precision
almost 3 days in advance.
• This has helped the authorities to take preemptive
measures to reduce casualties.

23. Telecommunication infrastructure can be damaged
during any disaster.
Back-up arrangements need to be in place, like
Satellite phones for communication during disaster
phase.
Telecommunication companies may also arrange
adequate number of mobile BTS.
towers for immediately restoring the
telecommunication facilities in the aftermath of
disaster

24. • In ecologically vulnerable tourist areas, there can
be a system to register / regulate the tourists, so that
people can be effectively traced in disasters.
• Organized and trained State Disaster Response
Force has helped in tackling any disasters

25. • Equipping fire service as multi-disaster responders.
• The Central/State Governments due to limited
resources are not able to fully compensate the losses
suffered by the affected people. Therefore, there is
need to explore risk transfer arrangements like
insurance.
