Background

Maharashtra has witnessed several devastating disasters and is one of the worst affected states in the COVID19 pandemic. The State Disaster Management Plan was prepared in 2016 for effective pre disaster and post disaster management. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction recognizes that the State has the primary role to reduce disaster. On the lines of the Sendai Framework and the guidelines of the SDMP, the department plans to undertake a coordinated and integrated approach to Disaster Management and Resilience for Maharashtra which will focus on strengthening the states capabilities in disaster preparedness, mitigation, and response. Disaster Management is a coordinated responsibility of all the line departments and hence it is proposed to appoint a multidisciplinary and comprehensive Technical Support Agency to assist the state government in end-to-end Disaster Preparedness, Mitigation and Response for all the notified disasters.
