NATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES MANAGEMENT OF LANDSLIDES AND SNOW AVALANCHES
Description
The National Disaster Management Guidelines for managing landslides and snow avalanches aim to minimize the impact of these hazards on life, property, and economic activities across India. Formulated by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), these guidelines emphasize a proactive approach to disaster management, focusing on hazard recognition, risk assessment, and mitigation strategies through stakeholder engagement. Key components include landslide hazard zonation mapping, geological and geotechnical investigations, capacity building, public awareness, and the establishment of early warning systems. The guidelines also call for regulatory measures, compliance reviews, and the integration of landslide management into national and state disaster plans to enhance community resilience and safety.
