NATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

The National Disaster Management Plan (NDMP), first framed in 2016 and revised in 2019, outlines roles and responsibilities for disaster risk reduction across central, state, and district levels. A key component is the India Disaster Resource Network (IDRN), a web-based platform that serves as a nationwide electronic inventory of equipment, skilled human resources, and critical supplies for emergency response, enabling quick decision-making and resource deployment during disasters. This information was provided by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Home Affairs in the Rajya Sabha.
