Beyond Relief and Rescue: India’s Proactive Disaster Management Ecosystem · deccanchronicle.com

India has been working hard to improve how it handles natural disasters.

Instead of just reacting after disasters happen, the government is now focusing on preventing them and being ready beforehand.

They have better coordination between different agencies, use advanced technology for early warnings, and train local communities to respond quickly.

This has helped save many lives and reduce the impact of disasters.

However, climate change is making things more challenging, and the government continues to work on making the system even stronger.
