Answer 1

 Stating that India is one of the most disaster prone countries in the world, Minister of State for Communications and Information Technology Sachin Pilot on Wednesday said there is a need to be well prepared and the key to that lies in information being collected and then given to the people where disaster may or will most certainly strike.

"India is one of the most disaster prone countries in the world. There are more than a billion people living in this country. So, to mitigate the damages of disaster we have to be well prepared and the key to that lies in information being collected and then given to the people where disaster may or will most certainly strike," Pilot told the media at the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) function here.

"So, these guidelines I think are going to play a very crucial role in sensitizing the state governments, the bureaucracy, the lower communities and the ones who are most vulnerable, are the ones who have least resources, who are the least empowered, who live in poor areas. Those are the people; they have to be the focus of our attention," he added.
