Natural disasters continue to strike unabated and without notice and are perceived to be on the increase in their magnitude, complexity, frequency and economic impact globally. Worldwide, 90% of the natural disasters and 95% of the total disaster related deaths occur only in developing countries. It is because most of the world’s worst disasters tend to occur between the area of Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. This area is inhabited by the poorer countries of the world, where the problems of disaster management are unique due to the seemingly competing needs between basic necessities for people and economic progress. The Parliament of India had enacted the National Disaster Management Act in November 2005, which brings about a paradigm shift in India’s approach to Disaster Management. The centre of gravity stands visibly shifted to preparedness, prevention and planning from earlier response and relief centric approach. Such holistic approach needs not only the institutional mechanism for better coordination among various sectors, but also strengthening the Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) efforts more efficiently. The Tenth Five Year Plan also suggested some important parameters for building a robust and sound information database based on knowledge sharing, information dissemination and public awareness aspects. Application of the state of the art information technology and evolving a national disaster knowledge network by establishing linkages between all knowledge based institutions, was envisaged as effective measure for knowledge sharing and information dissemination in the field of disaster management. Proper knowledge about the stakeholders’ / role players’ contact details, their capacity and specialization will help in facilitating the coordination and knowledge sharing. In the above context, NIDM has taken the responsibility of developing a database of all knowledge based institutions / resource persons and provide them a platform for sharing their experiences and activities to cater to this mandate. The present document is an effort to develop a resource that can be extensively used, by all possible users, besides knowledge based institutions to share their expertise, achievements and knowledge in the field of disaster management. I congratulate NIDM and acknowledge its contribution in this endeavour. I hope this revised version of directory will help in promoting collaboration among different stakeholders / role players in disaster management and thus mitigating disaster risks. 3 FOREWORD A well-considered strategy and flexible mechanisms are necessary in order to make disaster risk mitigation and management a reality. This calls for a concerted effort on the part of several sectors including national and state governments, activists, NGOs. In- fact the present approach towards the risk assessment of any disaster is not adequate due to various reasons one of which of course is lack of proper coordination among various stakeholders. The Government of India has taken various initiatives in order to strengthen the coordination between stakeholders some of them being institutional structures, human resource development and capacity enhancement at all levels of governance of the country and networking of knowledge based institutions, etc. Under the Disaster Management Act 2005, NIDM has nodal responsibilities for human resource development, capacity building, training, research, documentation, networking among various stakeholders and policy advocacy in the field of disaster management. Both as a National Centre and then as the National Institute, NIDM has performed a crucial role in bringing disaster risk reduction to the forefront of the national agenda. It is our belief that disaster risk reduction is possible only through promotion of a "Culture of Prevention" involving all stakeholders. To achieve this, we work through strategic partnerships with various ministries and departments of the Central, state and local governments, academic, research and technical organizations in India and abroad. Of late it has also been seen in our country that we get appreciation in response related activities not only within the country but also outside but documentation becomes the most neglected part. As we all know that documentation helps in not only getting a feel of all activities undertaken but also passes on the accumulated knowledge to future users. NIDM in its bit to strengthen the documentation per say, takes an effort to develop a directory of Ministries, departments, experts and other stakeholders. This documentation is an effort to develop a resource that can be extensively used by all possible users besides knowledge based institutions, to share their expertise, achievements and knowledge in the field of disaster management to other takers. NIDM's vision is to create a Disaster Resilient India by building the capacity at all levels for disaster mitigation and preparedness. I hope that disaster managers would find this document useful and utilize it to promote collaborative efforts in reducing the disaster risk in the country. 4 PRIME MINISTER’S OFFICE Prime Minister of India : PM’s Office South Block, Raisina Hill New Delhi -110011 Tel: 91-11-23012312 Fax: 91-11-23019545, 23016857 S.
