Overview
Disaster management is a critical governance challenge in India, frequently tested in GS1 (Geography, Disaster Management), GS2 (Governance, Policies), and GS3 (Internal Security, Environment). Understanding the national framework is essential for policy analysis and administrative preparedness.
The National Disaster Management Plan (NDMP) is India's comprehensive framework for disaster risk reduction and management, outlining the roles and responsibilities of various government levels and stakeholders. It was first issued in 2016 and subsequently revised in 2019.
