Answer 1

Explanation:

Disaster management in India refers to the protection and preservation of lives and property in India during a natural or man-made disaster. Disaster management plans are multi-layered and are planned to address issues such as floods, hurricanes, fires, mass failure of utilities and the rapid spread of disease. India is especially vulnerable to natural disasters because of its unique geo-climatic conditions, having recurrent floods, droughts, cyclones, earthquakes and landslides. India's need for a multidimensional approach was highlighted by the 1999 Odisha cyclone and the 2001 Gujarat earthquake.

The Disaster Management Act was passed by the Lok Sabha on 28 November 2005, and by the Rajya Sabha on 12 December 2005. It received the assent of the President of India on 9 January 2006. The Act calls for the establishment of a National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), with the Prime Minister of India as chairperson. The NDMA has no more than nine members at a time, including a Vice-Chairperson. The tenure of the members of the NDMA is five years. The NDMA which was initially established on 30 May 2005 by an executive order, was constituted under Section-3(1) of the Disaster Management Act, on 27 September 2006. The NDMA is responsible for "laying down the policies, plans and guidelines for disaster management" and to ensure "timely and effective response to disaster". Under section 6 of the Act it is responsible for laying "down guidelines to be followed by the State Authorities in drawing up the State Plans".On 1 June 2016, Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, released the Disaster Management Plan of India, which seeks to provide a framework and direction to government agencies for prevention, mitigation and management of disasters. This is the first national plan since the enactment of the Disaster Management Act of 2005.
