Preparedness & response for emergencies at times of natural disaster

Floods are the most common natural disaster in India. Almost all of India is flood-prone, and extreme precipitation events, such as flash floods and torrential rains, have become increasingly common in central India over the past several decades, coinciding with rising temperatures.
