Introduction Both man-made and natural disasters are happening day-in and day-out. To manage such frequent disasters there is a need to decentralise the institutional arrangements. Therefore, the Ministry of Home Affairs and the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) decided to open up Disaster Management Centres (DMCs) at various States. These DMCs are housed in various Adminstrative Training Institutes of Rural Development campuses. 2. Learning outcome: By undergoing this module, the learners will be equipped with the knowledge about these institutions. it is also possible to know its functioning, roles and responsibilities. 3. Disaster Management Centres in Indian States National Institute of Disaster Management NIDM supports the Disaster Management Centres (DMC's) in all states. Majority of such centres are located at State ATI's. Under this scheme, NIDM provides financial assistance to support four faculty members and other support staff. Besides, the programme expenses of the Disaster Management Centres are also borne by NIDM. At present a total of 29 such Centres have been set up and a few more are in the process of being set up. The training programmes of the Centres are developed through a consultative process in the Annual Training Conference organised by NIDM for this purpose. The Annual Training Conference is attended by the Relief Commissioners of the States, Director Generals of the ATIs, and representatives of the concerned nodal Ministries and departments of the Government of India. As a rule, the DMC's have to conduct a minimum of 25 training programmes and train at-least 500 participants every year. Together all the Disaster Management Centres train more than cutting edge functionaries of the government. 2

Creation of a National Database for rapid dissemination of information and knowledge is also an objective. The centre is a multidisciplinary research and education centre. Main aim of the educational programme is to impart advanced knowledge on technical and managerial skills to the professionals to make them equipped with innovative technologies for effective mitigation and management of disasters for overall benefit of the society. 6

7 The Centre aims to achieve excellence in key areas of education and research at par with international standards. Regional issues especially related with Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Floods, Cyclones and their early warnings are other focused areas. The centre has faculty with domain expertise in Earthquake, Landslide, Cyclones, Floods, Tsunami and Geomatic Technology. Research and consultancy projects are carried out through sponsored funding from Govt. of India and other National and International funding agencies. 4. Reputed International Disaster Management Centres 4.1 Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC), Bangkok Established in 1986, ADPC is as an independent non-governmental organization. It works in a number of countries in the Asian region including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Maldives, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Saudi-Arabia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam. With headquarters located in Bangkok, Thailand, ADPC has country offices in Bangladesh, Lao PDR and Myanmar. ADPC's well-established networks with government line agencies and strong partnerships with regional organizations and development agencies provide the foundation for its work. ADPC deploys Disaster Risk Management (DRM) information and systems to reduce local, national and regional risk across Asia-Pacific. Its portfolio focuses on DRM capacity building, improving DRM for cities and climate change, mainstreaming DRM into national and local development, improving DRM systems and undertaking disaster risk assessments. To achieve its aims in disaster risk reduction, ADPC works closely with local, national and regional governments, governmental and non-governmental organizations, donors and development partners. 4.2 SAARC Disaster Management Centre, India SAARC Disaster Management Centre (SDMC) was set up in October 2006 at the premises of National Institute of Disaster Management in New Delhi. The Centre has the mandate to serve eight Member Countries of South Asia Association of Regional Cooperation (SAARC) - Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka - by providing policy advice and facilitating capacity building services including strategic learning, research, training, system development and exchange of information for effective disaster risk reduction and management in South Asia. The Centre is a sleek body of professionals working on various dimensions of disaster risk reduction and management in South Asia. The Centre is networking through the National Focal Points of the Member Countries with the various Ministries, Departments and Scientific, Technical, Research and Academic institutions within and outside the Government working on various aspects of disaster risk reduction and management. 4.3 UNICEF's Office of Emergency Programmes (EMOPS), Switzerland 7

8 The Office of Emergency Programmes (EMOPS) is the focal point for emergency assistance, humanitarian policies, staff security and support to UNICEF offices in the field, as well as strategic coordination with external humanitarian partners both within and outside the United Nations system. EMOPS is UNICEF s focal point for support to inter-agency early warning and preparedness activities and also, internally, for the development of UNICEF s own early warning system, the enhancement of preparedness tools, and the operationalization of preparedness plans at country, regional and headquarters levels. UNICEF s work in disaster risk reduction (DRR) is guided by and contributes to the Hyogo Framework for Action a global road map for reducing disaster risks which was endorsed by 168 countries in January 2005 in Kobe, Japan. The work in this area represents a shift from a reactive to a proactive approach, with disaster risks systematically identified, assessed and addressed as part of development. UNICEF is also closely collaborating with key government agencies, especially in the education and emergency sectors, to support critical policy, legislative and systemic improvements, which directly contribute to the national commitments. 4.4 World Food Programme (WFP), Italy Born in 1961, WFP pursues a vision of the world in which every man, woman and child has access at all times to the food needed for an active and healthy life. Work towards that vision with sister UN agencies in Rome -- the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) -- as well as other government, UN and NGO partners. The World Food Programme is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. In emergencies, get food to where it is needed, saving the lives of victims of war, civil conflict and natural disasters. After the cause of an emergency has passed, use food to help communities rebuild their shattered lives. Disaster risk reduction is a central priority for WFP. About half of WFP s programmes address the risks of natural disasters and their impacts on food security, reaching approximately 80 million people in 60 countries each year. WFP is a leading innovator in the area of food security and disaster risk reduction and has pioneered cutting-edge emergency preparedness and early warning systems that have been adopted globally. WFP has also led the application of innovative risk financing tools, such as index insurance, in disaster response and safety nets. 4.5 The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (ICRC), Switzerland The work of the ICRC is based on the Geneva Conventions of 1949, their Additional Protocols, its Statutes and those of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and the resolutions of the International Conferences of the Red Cross and Red Crescent. The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is the largest humanitarian network in the world. Its mission is to alleviate human suffering, protect life and health, and uphold human dignity especially during armed conflicts and other emergencies. It is present in every country and supported by millions of volunteers. The "Movement" is made up of the following components: the International Committee of the Red Cross, the National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. 4.6 CARE, USA 8

9 CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. Care place special focus on working alongside poor women because, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty. The mission is to serve individuals and families in the poorest communities in the world. Drawing strength from global diversity, resources and decades of experience, promote innovative solutions and are advocates for global responsibility. Care respond to dozens of disasters each year, reaching approximately 12 million people through our emergency programs. The decades of experience, expansive global reach and robust network of partners enable to take a comprehensive approach to emergency relief. First, work with communities to prepare for and mitigate the impact of disasters. Then, partner with local groups to provide immediate assistance when an emergency hits. And finally, work with survivors, especially women and children, to help them recover after the crisis has passed. 4.7 OXFAM, UK Oxfam is an international confederation of 17 organizations working in approximately 94 countries worldwide to find solutions to poverty and what it considers injustice around the world. In all Oxfam's actions, the ultimate goal is to enable people to exercise their rights and manage their own lives. Oxfam works directly with communities and seeks to influence the powerful, to ensure that poor people can improve their lives and livelihoods and have a say in decisions that affect them. Each organization (affiliate) works together internationally to achieve a greater impact through collective efforts. Oxfam help people caught up in natural disasters and conflicts across the world with clean water, food, sanitation and protection. At any given time responding to over 30 emergency situations, giving lifesaving support to those most in need. Oxfam also work hard to encourage global and local policy makers to bring about the changes needed to improve the lives of those affected. 5. Summary Management of disasters by improving the capacities of its stakeholders is an on-going process. Institutions at the national level as well as State level make their efforts to create a pool of experts who can manage disasters at the time of emergencies. The common guidelines, rules of the game will emerge from these institutions. Collaborative approach and networking with institutions having similar agenda will make things happen in a better way. As far as international organisations are concerned, concerted efforts are being attempted to reduce the sufferings of disaster victims. The major organisations/centres working at international level are (1) Asian Disaster Preparedness Centre (ADPC), Bangkok, (2) SAARC Disaster Management Centre, India, (3) UNICEFs Office of Emergency Programmes (EMOPS), Switzerland, (4) World Food Programme (WFP), Italy, (5) The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (ICRC), Switzerland, (6) CARE, USA, (7) OXFAM, UK 6.
