4.11.8 Disaster risk reduction: disaster management cycle, NDMP, early warning (IMD, INCOIS), NCRMP, NDRF/SDRF and APSDMA

Disaster risk reduction treats a disaster as a cycle (prevent, mitigate, prepare, respond, recover) and India runs it through the National Disaster Management Plan, hazard-specific early-warning agencies, mitigation projects such as NCRMP, and trained response forces like NDRF, SDRF and, in Andhra Pradesh, APSDMA.
