Economic & Political WeeklySummary: Policy and planning for preparedness and response to disasters could be moulded well to suit local communities, if only grassroots-level institutions, such as gram panchayats, non-governmental organisations, and community-based organisations are actively involved in the process. As the objective of this approach is to reduce the impact of natural disasters on the living conditions of vulnerable communities, the first step in this course should be to ensure that the community at the panchayat level is capable of withstanding the impact of a disaster for at least the first few days, until external assistance reaches it, followed by the
long-term sustenance of its safety and livelihoods. – Reproduced
