Abstract

India is one of the most disaster-prone countries because to its geo-climatic circumstances andhigh degree of socio-economic vulnerability. A catastrophe occurs when a society's normal functioning isseverely disrupted, leading to widespread human, material, or environmental losses that are in excess ofthe capacity of the afflicted society to manage with its own resources. Sometimes, catastrophes arecategorized based on whether or not they were caused by nature or by humans. Natural catastrophesinclude, but are not limited to, those caused by floods, droughts, tsunamis, and earthquakes. In this paperstudy the institutional arrangements of disaster management.
