<br/><br/> The Disaster Management (Amendment) Act,2025 contains a provision for creating a disaster database at the national and state levels. While such databases can be useful, there is a lack of clarity over their scope and purpose, which must not be limited to assessing disaster impact or inventorying fund allocation and expenditure status, and should instead address requirement for disaster risk reduction. - Reproduced<br/><br/>https://www.epw.in/journal/2025/21/commentary/creating-database.html
