National disaster management guidelines: management of cyclones

The National guidelines for the management of cyclones have been formulated after a ‘nine step’ process taking on board completely, various Central Ministries, Departments, States and UTs.

These guidelines are an important step towards the development of plans for the management of cyclones and their attendant disasters. These have been prepared to provide guidance to the ministries, departments and state authorities for the preparation of their detailed DM plans. These guidelines call for a proactive, participatory, well-structured, failsafe, multi-disciplinary and multi-sector approach at various levels.
