INTRODUCTION Disaster is defined as the “serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society causing widespread human, material, economic or environmental losses which exceed the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources”. They are the result of a combination of risk factors that can be summarized as the exposure of people and assets to hazards, and their pre-existing vulnerability to them.
Displacement is the forced or obliged movement, evacuation or relocation of individuals or groups of people from their homes or places of habitual residence in order to avoid the threat or impact of a disaster. It refers to situations where people are forced to move by other people and organisations, including local or national authorities, but also when people act of their own will in response to the threats and severe conditions they face1.
Disasters brought on by natural hazards force millions of people to flee their homes each year across all regions of the world. The displacement caused is a global phenomenon, and its growing scale, frequency and complexity pose huge challenges for exposed and vulnerable populations, Governments, Humanitarian and Development Organizations and Disaster Risk Managers2.
THE GLOBAL PICTURE
Latest estimates More than 19.3 million people were displaced by disasters in 100 countries in 2014. Since 2008, an average of 26.4 million people have been displaced by disasters each year - equivalent to one person every second.
Displacement by hazard type 17.5 million people were displaced by disasters brought on by weather-related hazards in 2014, and 1.7 million by geophysical hazards. An average of 22.5 million people have been displaced each year by climate or weather- related disasters in the last seven years - equivalent to 62,000 people every day.

The largest increases in displacement are related to weather and climate-related hazards, and floods in particular.
Climate change, in tandem with people’s increasing exposure and vulnerability, is expected to magnify this trend, as extreme weather events become more frequent and intense in the coming decades.
Displacement trend from 1970 to 2014 Latest historical models suggest that even after adjusting for population growth, the likelihood of being displaced by a disaster today is 60 per cent higher than it was four decades ago.
1998 was a peak year for displacement, which correlates with the strongest iteration of El Nino on record. Extreme weather events associated with it included hurricane Mitch, which devastated several countries in Central America.
Displacement by region and country Asia is home to 60 per cent of the world’s population, but accounted for 87 per cent of the people displaced by disasters worldwide in 2014. 16.7 million people were forced to flee their homes in the region. Eleven of the 20 countries worst affected by displacement over the last seven years are in Asia.
Europe experienced double its average level of displacement for the past seven years in 2014, with 190,000 people displaced, most of them by Flooding in the Balkans.
Displacement in Africa was three times lower than average in 2014 in absolute terms, but many African countries experienced high levels relative to their population size. The highest level of displacement in relative terms in 2014 was in Sudan, where rainy season floods displaced 159,000 people.
In Chile, one of the largest displacements of the year highlighted the benefit of investment in disaster prevention and preparedness. Around 970,000 people fled low- lying coastal areas in response to an 8.2 magnitude offshore earthquake and tsunami warning. Most people were able to return home the following day.
Developing countries are consistently the worst affected, with almost 175 million people displaced since 2008, accounting for 95 per cent of global total. The figure for 2014 was 17.4 million, or 91 per cent of the global total. -3-
The big three: China, India and the Philippines China, India and the Philippines experienced the highest levels of displacement in absolute terms, both in 2014 and from 2008 to 2014.
Disasters related to floods, storms, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in the three countries accounted for 15 of the 20 largest displacements in 2014.
Multiple and repeated displacements in the same parts of the three countries point to areas of particularly high exposure and vulnerability.
The Philippines was among the three worst-affected countries in relative and absolute terms, both in 2014 and over the 2008 to 2014 period.
Large-scale evacuations prompted by two category-three typhoons in the Philippines caused the largest displacements worldwide for the second year running in 20143.
INDIAN SCENE The frequency and severity of natural disasters in India are increasing. In 2013-14 alone India witnessed several major natural disasters- floods and landslides in Uttarakhand, drought in Maharashtra, cyclones Phailin and Hudhud in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, respectively - that affected millions of people and caused an unprecedented scale of financial loss, including the cost of response and recovery. The level of intensity and the degree of loss raise the question regarding the effectiveness/ preparedness of disaster risk management in India. India is among the world's most vulnerable areas to natural hazards, particularly earthquakes, floods, droughts, cyclones, and landslides. The Global Climate Change and Vulnerability Index 2011 ranked India as the second "extreme risk" country in the world after Bangladesh, vulnerable to natural and Climate Change hazards. As per the latest seismic zoning map brought out by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), about 60% of the country is prone to earthquakes of intensity VII or more on the Medvedev-Sponheuer-Karnik (MSK) scale. Over 8% of India's landmass is susceptible to cyclone hazards and almost 76% of the 7,516 kilometer-long coastline is prone to cyclones and tsunamis. Approximately 68% of the country is drought prone; 12% of the area is susceptible to floods, and approximately 15% of the total area of the country is susceptible to landslides.
3 Op.cit., Global Estimates 2015, pp. 8-9 -4-
Climate-induced hazards are very common in the entire Himalayan region. According to the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the incidence of floods in the Himalayan region are expected to increase as a result of a rise in precipitation during the monsoon season and glacial melt, both occurring due to changing climate.
In addition, India's high level of poverty and rapid urban growth further increases the vulnerability of its people to the impact of natural hazards and Climatic Changes. New residents and urban poor living in peri-urban areas and informal settlements concentrated in high-risk zones are particularly vulnerable to natural hazards due to lack of adequate infrastructure, insufficient enforcement of building codes, a near absence of financial and insurance mechanisms that help transfer risk, and limited access to basic and emergency services.
Thus, with urban development unable to keep up with rising demands, the vulnerability of people and infrastructure in cities have a higher degree of defencelessness to natural hazards and effects of climate change. It is estimated that around 200 million city dwellers in India will be exposed to storms and earthquakes by 20504.
People Displaced By Disasters In India India experiences high levels of displacement along its east coast, where communities are exposed to tropical storms from the Bay of Bengal, and in the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Yamuna river basins in the North and North-east of the country.
Northern and eastern India suffered a number of large-scale disasters caused by exceptionally heavy rains and riverine floods in 2014. In September, the worst floods to hit Jammu and Kashmir in 50 years displaced around 812,000 people in urban areas of the state. Across the contested line of control with Pakistan, hundreds of thousands more were displaced in Pakistan occupied Kashmir.
In Assam, the fourth poorest state in the country,41 floods in July were followed by worse flooding in September and October 2014, which also affected the neighbouring State of Meghalaya. Some 367,000 people were displaced. Despite the regular occurrence of floods in
4 Economic and Political Weekly, January 31, 2015, Vol. L No. 5, p. 36 -5- this region, few long-term measures have been put in place to mitigate flooding in the Brahmaputra river basin.
Further south in the State of Odisha, floodwaters engulfed vast areas of the Mahanadi river delta in July 2014 and displaced more than a million people. Mass evacuations from low- lying areas were undertaken. On 12 October 2014, cyclone Hudhud made landfall near the eastern port city of Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh as a category four storm, bringing widespread floods and landslides. It triggered one of the most costly disasters of the year, causing losses of around $11 billion.
Learning from experiences ahead of cyclone Phailin almost exactly a year earlier, the Andhra Pradesh and Odisha State authorities increased their efforts to convince residents of coastal and hill communities that they should evacuate for their own safety ahead of Hudhud. For thousands of people from the hill tribes, this was their first time to ever leave their home areas. The evacuation of around 600,000 people can be credited with helping to minimize fatalities. When a huge storm hit the area 15 years earlier,10000 people were killed State officials put the death toll from Hudhud at 41(see Annexure I for details of displacement in India and neighbouring countries) 5.
ROLE OF THE CENTRAL AND THE STATE GOVERNMENTS The basic responsibility for undertaking rescue, relief and rehabilitation measures in the event of a disaster rests with the State Governments concerned. The Central Government supplements the efforts of the State Governments by providing logistics and financial support in case of severe Natural Disasters. The logistics support includes deployment of aircrafts and boats, specialist team of Armed forces, Central Armed Police Forces and personnel of National Disaster Response Force, arrangements for relief materials and essential commodities including medicinal stores, restoration of critical infrastructure facilities including communication network and such other assistance as may be required by the affected States to meet the situation effectively6.
Given the vulnerability and exposure to disasters, over the past decade India has made major strides in formulating guidelines, procedures, and putting in place systems to address
5 Ibid, pp. 36-37; 40-41 6 India, Ministry of Home Affairs, Annual Report 2014-15, p. 192 -6- such events. The exposure and experience from past disasters (particularly the Odisha super cyclone in 1999, the Gujarat earthquake in 2001, and the tsunami of 2004) have brought disaster management to the forefront of India's development agenda with the enactment of the Disaster Management Act in 2005.
The Government of India has in place an institutional and strategic approach towards disaster management- the Ministry of Home Affairs is the key nodal agency for coordinating hazard relief and mitigation activities in conjunction with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), the State Disaster Management Authorities (SDMAs), the National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM) for trainings and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF). The Twelfth Five-Year has outlined the aim of consolidating progress made towards disaster preparedness, prevention and risk mitigation by integrating them into the development process7.
The concerned State Governments undertake relief activities according to the magnitude of the ground situation, in the wake of natural disasters from the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) already placed at their disposal in accordance with items and norms approved by the Government of India. When the available resources are inadequate in the State, an additional assistance is extended from the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) by following the laid down procedure, which includes an assessment based on the spot field visit of an Inter- Ministerial Central Team. The financial assistance is towards relief and not for compensation of loss as suffered. The details of the losses due to natural disasters reported by the State Governments/ Union Territories during the last one year and current year are at Annexure-II.
The Ministry of Home Affairs does not maintain centrally status of farmers/ affected families whom relief is provided, since execution of relief activities on the ground is the responsibility of the State concerned. As per the scheme of SDRF the State Government is responsible to ensure that money drawn from the SDRF account is actually utilized for the purposes for which the SDRF has been set up and only on item of expenditure and as per norms approved by the GOI. The State Accountant General is required to monitor the expenditure as per the items and norms of assistance. The Comptroller and Auditor General of India conducts audit of SDRF every year. State-wise details of the memoranda submitted to this Ministry and assistance approved from NDRF during the last one year and current year, are

GLOBAL POLICY FRAMEWORKS AND PROCESSES OF RELEVANCE FOR DISASTER- RELATED DISPLACEMENT The Sendai Framework on Disaster Risk Reduction 2015 – 2030 acknowledges the large number of disaster displaced persons identified in recent years as one of the devastating effects of disasters. The Framework underlines, inter alia, the need to prepare for “ensuring rapid and effective response to disasters and related displacement, including access to safe shelter, essential food and non food relief supplies” and encourages States to adopt, at national and local levels “policies and programmes addressing disaster induced human mobility to strengthen the resilience of affected people and that of host communities as per national laws and circumstances.” It also calls for “transboundary cooperation to build resilience and reduce disaster risk, including displacement risk.
The Agenda for Sustainable Development also adopted in 2015 contains a commitment “to cooperate internationally to ensure the humane treatment”, inter alia, of “displaced persons,” and to build the resilience of those in vulnerable situations to climate- related extreme events and other disasters.
The first World Humanitarian Summit (WHS) will be held in Istanbul on 23 and 24 May 2016 and will bring together Governments, Humanitarian Organizations, people affected by humanitarian crises and other relevant stakeholders to develop a set of concrete actions aimed at enabling countries and communities to better prepare for crisis and emergencies, including preparing for increased frequency and intensity of Climate Change related natural hazards. It will be important to ensure the inclusion of human mobility challenges into such proposals and promote actions that can protect people from being displaced and ensure movement in dignity and safety when displacement is unavoidable.
The United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) will take place in Quito, Ecuador, on 17-20 October 2016. The goal of the conference is to secure renewed political commitment for sustainable urban development, assess accomplishments to date, address poverty, and identify and address new and emerging
8 Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 1344 dated 3.3.2015 -8- challenges. The first implementing conference of the Post-2015 sustainable development and climate change agendas, Habitat III offers a unique opportunity to discuss the important challenge of urban areas vulnerability to Climate Change (especially informal settlements) and as destinations for those uprooted by Climate Change effects9.
CONCLUSION As most disasters are as much man-made as they are natural, much more can be done in order to strengthen community-based and national resilience to prevent the worst impacts of natural hazards, and to better prepare for events that cannot be avoided. Policies and practice that protect and respect the rights of displaced people and those at risk of displacement, and that target their specific needs, can play a vital role in mitigating impacts, breaking recurrent patterns and avoiding protracted situations.10 After a detailed exercise, the Ministry of Home Affairs in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), has developed a draft India Disaster Recovery Framework, which also incorporates views/ comments of the States and other stakeholders. A draft executive guidelines for its implementation also has been prepared11.
