Indian sub-continent falls within a geographic area where natural calamities are common phenomena. Its unique sub-continental dimensions coupled with factors like its geographical location and the behaviour of monsoon make it one of the most hazardprone countries in the world. India is vulnerable to various natural disasters like floods, Tsunamis, droughts, cyclones, earthquakes, landslides, avalanches, forest fires and the like. Disasters occur with great regularity and despite better preparedness to meet all contingencies, the economic and social costs on account of losses caused by disasters continue to mount year after year.
