India faces many natural hazards, including floods, cyclones, drought etc. But every hazard need not turn into a disaster. By careful planning, capacity building, early warning, community participation, procurement and pre-positioning of necessary equipment and resources, participation of civil society, assigning clear role to the private sector, involving panchayati raj institutions and urban local bodies, rigorous enforcement of techno-legal regime on land use and building regulations etc., significant reductions of losses can be brought about in such events. We have a national policy on disaster management, at http://ndmindia.nic.in/NPDM-101209.pdf

We have created a number of institutions by way of the Disaster Management Act, 2005, which may be seen at http://ndmindia.nic.in/acts-rules/DisasterManagementAct2005.pdf

What more can be done to enhance our preparedness to handle natural disasters?

We have included this disaster management in school books. However we need to go for more depth in this. We need to prepare documentary video along with visual history of past disaster in india. as every school has tv and projector this video can be shown to students. apart from that these documentary for disaster preparation can also be shown as tv program on various tv channels like DD, discovery and national geography channel.

Disasters be it Man made or natural the end is traumatic.World over we have watched disasters but one thing that we see is discipline that is most wanted.A great amount of knowledge with a low turnout of discipline is a failure mechanism.Instead a low knowledge level with greater discipline solves problems and helps government authorities to function better.This discipline has to come in every walk of life ,at home ,on roads ,at work etc The will to be responsible is important for easy solutions
