Q21. “Disaster management in India has shifted from relief-centric to preparedness-centric.” Examine.
Earlier, disaster management in India largely focused on post-disaster relief and rehabilitation. This approach often resulted in high human and economic losses.
In recent years, there has been a shift towards preparedness, mitigation, and risk reduction. Early warning systems, capacity building, and community participation have gained importance.
This transition reflects a proactive approach aimed at minimising disaster impact and enhancing resilience.
Q22. “Disaster risk reduction is essential for sustainable development.” Discuss.
Disasters can reverse years of development gains by damaging infrastructure, livelihoods, and human capital. Frequent disasters increase vulnerability of poor and marginalised communities.
Disaster risk reduction (DRR) integrates risk assessment into development planning. It focuses on prevention, mitigation, and preparedness rather than only response.
Thus, DRR is critical for protecting development investments and achieving sustainable growth.
Q23. “Role of local communities is crucial in effective disaster management.” Analyse.
Local communities are the first responders during disasters. Their awareness, preparedness, and traditional knowledge play a vital role in reducing losses.
Community-based disaster management improves early warning dissemination, evacuation, and relief distribution. It also enhances trust and coordination.
Empowering local communities through training and participation strengthens overall disaster resilience.
Q24. “Climate change has increased the frequency and intensity of disasters.” Examine.
Climate change has led to more frequent floods, cyclones, heatwaves, and droughts. These events pose serious challenges to disaster management systems.
Developing countries like India are particularly vulnerable due to high population density and resource constraints.
Integrating climate adaptation with disaster management is essential to reduce future risks.
Q25. “Institutional coordination is key to effective disaster response.” Discuss.
Disaster response involves multiple agencies across different levels of government. Lack of coordination can delay relief and increase losses.
Clear roles, standard operating procedures, and inter-agency coordination enhance response efficiency. Use of technology also improves information sharing.
Therefore, strong institutional coordination is essential for timely and effective disaster response.
