Strengthening DRM capacity under Covid 19 Pandemic in Cyclone/Flood Prone Area

In collaboration with Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the project aims at better integration of varied aspects of biological hazards into existing planning and decision-making mechanisms for Disaster Risk Management (DRM) at the local level in the state of Odisha. The project envisages to support such an integration with enhanced preparedness and capacity of local government and local communities for playing the critical roles and functions leading to better management of complex risks of natural and biological hazards.

The project aims to enhance disaster awareness, preparedness and capacity of sub-national (state and district) government and local communities for better risk management of natural and biological hazards and effective and sustainable localization of the targets and priorities of action envisioned under the global framework of SFDRR.
