Resilient Bihar: case study of Bihar floods 2016

Source(s):  Bihar State Disaster Management Authority (BSDMA)

Disaster has become a regular global event adversely affecting lives of millions of people. The question is why so many people are affected. The reason being increased vulnerability created by human being itself. To reduce increasing disaster risks communities need to be resilient. This is why ‘disaster risk reduction’ policies are being introduced.

This paper discusses roadmap for disaster risk reduction (DRR) in Bihar and its implementation at the grassroot level. Taking the case of 2016 Bihar Floods, the paper tries to look into how the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) actively work towards fulfilling targets and milestones of the ‘Bihar DRR Roadmap’, which was inspired by the Sendai Framework launched in Japan in 2015.
