Disaster Preparedness

Considering the natural disasters it was felt necessary to prepare the people to better face these disasters rather than just rebuild their habitat.

Hence an elaborate system of forecast and warning was assembled. Multi-hazards Management Plans at block and village level were prepared. Groups were formed to respond to hazards. Village sensitization meetings, mock drills and similar exercises to respond effectively in disaster

situations were carried out. Village Taskforces were formed and trained. The aim was capacity building of all the stakeholders and vulnerability reduction by linking up with the existing development programme.
