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 3.1.1 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 25000 cutting edge functionaries of the government. 2

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.

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.

The decades of experience, expansive global reach and robust network of partners enable to take a comprehensive approach to emergency relief.

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.
