Disaster Management

India is a disaster hotspot. Every year millions of people are affected by disasters causing loss of life, property and livelihoods. Some of these disaster events affect large number of people over a short period of time like the Tsunami of 2004, while others occur over several years, but may affect more number of people than these sudden events like the perpetual drought facing the central Indian region. Such events are likely to get more pronounced in the coming years with the increasing affect of climate change.     PLAN Foundation has established “Disaster Management Desk” to make focused intervention in sector.
