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?

Natural disasters are unavoidable in most circumstances no matter which part of the world we reside. The best way to deal with it can be seen in four steps. 1) Upgrade our disaster tracking systems. 2) Appoint and train a rescue team with regular unexpected mock drills to improve on recovery and rescue time. 3) Educate people in disaster prone areas on the best methods of safety. 4) Use systems and technology that are very sensitive in tracking weather and climate changes.

I have heard that the CCTV cameras are being removed from Delhi. Shey should be installed on roads, public areas, traffic lights etc so that it becomes easier to check many areas and catch the crimes taking place their.
