State Disaster Management Authorities

State Disaster Management Authorities (SDMAs) are government bodies responsible for planning, coordinating, and implementing disaster preparedness, response, and recovery efforts within their states. They work to minimize the impact of natural and man-made disasters by establishing strategies, resources, and guidelines. SDMAs collaborate with local authorities, emergency services, and community organizations to ensure an organized and efficient approach during crises, aiming to protect lives, property, and the environment. Essentially, they act as the central unit in a state to manage disasters effectively and ensure the safety and resilience of communities.
