(a) & (b): Yes Sir.  National Cyclone Risk Mitigation Project (NCRMP) aims at  minimizing  the  vulnerability  to  the  cyclone  and  making  people  and infrastructure  disaster  resilient.  With  the  measures  taken  under  NCRMP, including  components  of  multi-purpose  cyclone  shelters  (MPCS)  and  Early Warning Systems (EWS), coupled with very accurate and timely forecasts given by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), there is a significant reduction in casualties during cyclones in the country.

## L.S.US.Q.NO. 4176 FOR 29.03.2022

(c) to (e): NCRMP is a World Bank assisted centrally sponsored scheme, being  implemented  in  the  8  coastal  States,  in  two  phases.  Two  States were  covered  in  Phase-I,  namely,  Andhra  Pradesh  and  Odisha;  and  six States are covered in Phase- II, namely Goa, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra and West Bengal. The project has the following four components:

- i. Component  A:  Early  Warning  Dissemination  System  (EWDS),  the state  of  the  art  multi-technology  option  (Alert  Siren,  Satellite Radio,  Mass  Messaging,  etc.),  to  provide  reliable  communication and ensuring last mile connectivity during disaster.
- ii. Component  B:  Cyclone  Risk  Mitigation  Infrastructure  (CRMI),  to enhance  the  preparedness  and  mitigate  the  vulnerability  of  the coastal  communities  through  investments  for  construction  of multi-purpose cyclone shelters (MPCS), roads, bridges and saline embankments.
- iii. Component C: Technical Assistance for Capacity Building on multi hazard risk management.
- iv. Component D: Project Management and Monitoring.

Component  A,  C  &  D  are  fully  financed  by  the  Central  Government and  component  B  is  financed  by  Central  and  State  Governments  in  the ratio of 75:25.   Outlay of  NCRMP  Phase-I was  Rs. 2541.60  crore  and the
