Thank you for requesting my answer to this question. It’s a great topic and one that I’m very interested in! Chandan Desai, Gummadi Banu Prakash and Asif Darediya have already given you some very good answers, but I think I can add a bit more about the governmental frameworks that support the role of the community in disaster management.
The community plays a critical role in disaster management in India just as it does in other countries. The framework for community based disaster management (CBDM) in India is provided by the National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA). The NDMA recognises the community as the first responder in the event of a disaster, which means that it has invested significantly in ensuring that communities know what, where, when, and how they should be planning for, responding to, and recovering from disasters. This is especially the case with rural communities, who usually are most exposed to disaster risks. The NDMA decided to produce the National Policy Guidelines on Community-based Disaster Management to better inform communities and those working with them in this regard. The Sept 2014 draft of these Guidelines can be downloaded for free here. If you look at pages 40-43 of those Guidelines, you will find a list of roles that community members should play in disaster planning, response, and recovery (DPRR).
Some examples:
Public Distribution Centres (fair price shops) should set up special mechanisms to ensure that food supplies are not disrupted and discontinued.
Cattle pounds should provide precautionary veterinary care for animals (for example immunisations) as well as fodder storage and supply facilities, as well as coordinate animal care actions with veterinary doctors and para-veterinary workers.
Cultural groups should engage in awareness building for disaster preparedness.
Mason and artisan groups should promote awareness in the community about safe constructions
Women's representatives from Panchayat should assist and advise panchayat members on matters related to women’s needs, gender justice, etc.
I hope this is useful! Feel free to get in touch if you’d like more help on this.

Answer:
Explanation:
The Role of Children and Youth in Communicating Disaster Risk. Disaster management is dominated by top-down relief efforts that assume children and youth are passive victims with no role in communicating risks or preventing and responding to disasters.
