On the recommendations of the Government of India, the Government of Haryana has constituted the State Disaster Management Authority and District Disaster Management Authority vide Notification dated 9-10-2007. We believe in effective planning and focus on prevention. Mitigation would greatly help in ensuring that the hazards do not transform themselves into disasters and the coping capacity of the vulnerable population is greatly increased. This would again need systematic planning and coordination to ensure that the Disaster Risk Reduction is constantly promoted and mainstreamed in the regular programmes of each department.
