Disaster Management, Legal Mechanism, FrameworkAbstract
India is a country which is not lacking behind so far as witnessing the devastating effects of disaster is concerned. In the past India has witnessed thousands of deaths, destruction, agony of its people during different times due to the outbreak of different disasters. It is a responsibility of the central government as well as of state governments to respond to these outbreaks and to come up with a framework that can take measures to minimize the damages. A comprehensive legal mechanism is an important part of the framework. In the year 2005, India has introduced the Disaster Management Act, 2005 which presently represents India’s comprehensive legal mechanism for disaster management in this country apart from certain state legislations in this regard. This paper is an attempt to make a detailed analysis of this Act, its efficacy for disaster management and competence of the mechanism developed under this Act for disaster management in India as well as to make suitable recommendations for better disaster management in this country.
