Today it is a proven fact that Natural Disasters can happen at any place irrespective of the developed, developing or the least developed status of a country. It can cause massive destruction to the lives and livelihoods of large population and hence, to the national economies. It is experienced that the least developed and developing countries are impacted more severely by large-scale natural disasters. India has been traditionally vulnerable to natural disasters on account of its unique geo-climatic conditions. India, with its diverse geo-climatic conditions, is particularly vulnerable to disasters such as earthquakes, cyclones, floods, and droughts. The Disaster Management Act, 2005 provides a legal framework for disaster risk reduction, preparedness, and response across national, state, and district levels. This paper examines various natural disasters and the roles and responsibilities of the Central and State Governments before, during, and after such events. Based on secondary sources, it analyzes India’s disaster management strategies, legal provisions, and institutional mechanisms. The study emphasizes the need for coordinated efforts, policy implementation, and community participation to enhance disaster resilience and recovery.
