The project will support the recovery and increase disaster resilience in the affected districts including Srinagar and increase the over all capacity of the State Government and local communities to respond promptly and effectively to emergency situations created due to floods, earthquakes or any other natural disaster.

“Idea is to enhance the capacity in all respects and we will also be providing the necessary technical assistance for the purpose” Mr Dani said adding that State Government needs to operationalize the State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA), besides it can also look into setting up Telemetric Weather Stations that will allow the State to monitor weather data real time.
