India as a global example for disaster risk reduction:
- All the 28 States have prepared their own disaster management plans in recent years.
- Mortality from extreme weather events has fallen drastically in recent years.
- India’s early warning system for cyclones covers the entire coastline and has helped reduce cyclone related mortality by 90% over the last 15 years.
- heat wave action plans at the local level have reduced heat wave deaths by over 90%.
- Zero deaths reported during cyclone Biparjoy in Gujarat.
- Institutional deliveries (in hospitals and shelters) insured authorities before the cyclone.
All these showcases how India effectively prepared its response and early warning during disasters.
Finance Commission for disasters:

- With a total allocation of $28.6 billion at the national and State levels for a period of five years, the Government of India has provided sufficient resources for disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and capacity development.
India highlights agenda on the global platform:
- On the international stage, India is promoting disaster resilience and sustainability, including through the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, a global partnership for building resilience in infrastructure.
- India’s National Disaster Response Force responds to domestic disasters and is also regularly deployed to disaster zones around the world.
What more needs to be done?
- Disaster risk must be integrated at all levels, into how we build, how we invest, and how we live.
- One of the most cost-effective risk-reduction methods is early warning systems for all, spearheaded by the UN, with India’s support.
- Just a 24-hour warning of a coming storm can reduce the damage caused by 30%. Yet, over a third of the world’s population, mostly in least developed countries and Small Island Developing States, do not have access to such systems.
- Improve global data capabilities that helps to respond to risks we are facing.
Conclusion:
- The ultimate goal is a global multi-risk warning system for all kinds of hazards, whether biological, tectonic, or technological.
- Finally, we need to ensure that no one is left behind. We must enhance international cooperation in disaster prevention, response, and recovery, especially for the countries of the Global South.
