Overviewof Disasters  in India

The Indian sub continent has been exposed to disasters from time immemorial.

conditions of the Indian sub-continent make the region vulnerable to both natural and man-made disasters.

The increase in the vulnerability in recent years has been serious threat to the overall development of the country.

Coupled with lack of information and communication channels, this hadbeen a serious impediment in the pathof progress.

Considering the vast area of the Indian landmass, around 57% of the land is vulnerable to Earthquakes, 69% of the area is vulnerable to drought, 12% is vulnerable to Floods and 8% of the land is vulnerable to Cyclones.

Figuratively speaking, around one million houses are damaged annually, compounded by human, economic, social and other losses.

Disaster management requires multi-disciplinary and pro-active approach.

This is a major task being undertaken by the Government to put in place mitigation for vulnerability reduction.

This is our goal and we shall strive to achieve this goal with a missionary zeal.
