Disaster Management Act, 2005 alongwith Rules, 2006

This authoritative volume brings together the Disaster Management Act, 2005 and the key Rules, 2006 in a single, indexed edition designed for quick operational use. The Act provides the statutory architecture for disaster risk reduction and response — establishing the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), the National Executive Committee (NEC), State and District Disaster Management Authorities, and the National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM). The book reproduces provisions on national and state disaster management plans, powers of authorities (planning, coordination, resource allocation), the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) framework, funding mechanisms (State & National Disaster Response Funds), roles of departments and local bodies, mitigation and early-warning obligations, and penalties. Practical annexures include the full text of the principal Rules (NIDM Rules, NEC procedure, annual report rules), statutory forms, a checklist for plan compliance, and a chronology of major notifications — making it invaluable for policymakers, disaster managers, emergency response teams, legal advisors and academic libraries. Compact, current and practice-oriented, this edition saves time by consolidating India-specific disaster law and rules into one operational reference.
