| Summary/Abstract |
In the two decades following the devastating Tsunami of 2004, India has
emerged as a global leader not just in having a well-defined structure for
mitigating disasters but also in providing humanitarian support to other
countries affected by disasters. The Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA)
(2005–2010) brought vulnerable communities in disaster zones into key
focus of decision making; it also emphasized preparedness (resilience
building to enable communities to bounce back faster) as an important
area of state responsibility. The Sendai Framework (2015–2030) that
followed Hyogo evolved further by indicating that ‘risk identification’
helps timely action. As disasters observe no political boundaries, so
disaster management strives to overcome every political and ideological
division to cooperate, collaborate, and hand hold affected nations.
Resilience building includes a strategy to prevent other nations from
succumbing to disasters its impact is never confined to the one victim
nation alone but spreads to other nations in different ways
