Organization structure

A disaster management organization structure ensures efficient coordination, preparedness, response, and recovery at all levels. It typically consists of national, state, district, and local authorities, each playing a crucial role. At the national level, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) formulates policies and oversees disaster response. The State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA) implements strategies at the regional level, while District Disaster Management Authorities (DDMA) coordinate emergency services such as police, fire, and medical teams. At the local level, community-based organizations, NGOs, and volunteers assist in relief efforts, evacuation, and rehabilitation. This structured approach ensures effective disaster mitigation, resource mobilization, and rapid response, reducing the impact of disasters on communities.
