Explanation:
Every time there’s a large-scale disaster in India, it is proclaimed to be once-in-a-100-years event, and post facto relief measures are carried out. Lives and properties are lost, mostly due to the disaster and because of the lack of adequate pre- and post-disaster preparedness measures in place. Public awareness to carry out rescue operations in the wake of an emergency is close to zero. It won’t affect us, or probably it is not going to repeat itself is the common pre-supposition, and life goes on until the next event strikes. With the changing climatic conditions, India is turning more perilous in terms of getting affected by flash floods, droughts, cyclones, earthquakes, storms and other natural disasters. Instead of depending on post-disaster relief mechanisms, which is turning out to be a costly affair, the country now needs to build resilience through a new framework which maps vulnerable regions and carries considerable disaster preparedness and mitigation drives there.
