DISASTER MANAGEMENT & RELIEF DEPARTMENT
RESOLUTION
Jaipur, April 26, 2016

No.8(3)DM&RD/DM/2013/4219 .-The need to reduce the impact of disasters by means by systemic efforts has been gaining recognition and commitment among Governments worldwide. Disaster Risk Reduction is a cross cutting development issue. It requires political and legal commitment, scientific knowledge, careful development planning, application of Technology, law enforcement', community participation, early warning systems and effective disaster preparedness and response mechanisms. There is a need to foster an enabling environment for developing a culture of prevention and to enable concerted measures to facilitate the integration of disaster management into developmental planning in various sectors. It is therefore important that the State Government, stakeholders in the field of disaster management and people representing different interests in the area should evolve a participatory process of decision making in disaster management, which will not only strengthen the disaster management structure and institutions all over the State but will also enhance the levels of resilience.

2. The Government of Rajasthan has accordingly decided to constitute a multi-stakeholder State Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction (SPDRR). A list of members of the State Platform is placed at Annexure-I.

3. The functions of the SPDRR shall be -

a) To review the progress made in the field of disaster management from time to time.
