disaster.  Based on vulnerability profile of different regions of the country, these specialist  battalions  have  been  presently  stationed  at  the  various  strategic locations all over the country. The States have also been encouraged to develop State Disaster Response Force (SDRF). Regular mock drills are organized by the NDRF. NDRF teams are constantly engaged in familiarization exercises (FAMAX) as  also  in  community  awareness/  preparedness  programmes  in  far  flung  and inaccessible areas.  The measures as taken by the Government of India and the State Governments are expected to improve the existing disaster management practices including the preparedness and minimizing the effects of calamities in the  country.  Further,  the  strengthening  of  the  disaster  management  is  a continuing process of the governance.

Financial arrangements to meet emergent requirements in disaster situation in the  form  of  State  Disaster  Response  Fund  (SDRF)  and  National  Disaster Response  Fund  (NDRF)  have  been  institutionalized  for  disaster  relief  and response.  State-wise  details  of  allocation  and  release  from  SDRF  and  NDRF during the last three years and current year are given in Annexure-II.
