natural disasters on account of its unique geo-climatic conditions. Floods‚ droughts‚ cyclones‚ earthquakes and landslides have been a recurrent phenomenon. About 60% of the landmass is prone to earthquakes of various intensities; over 40 million hectares is prone to floods; about 8% of the total area is prone to cyclones and 68% of the area is susceptible to drought. In the decade 1990-2000‚ an average of about 4344 people lost their lives and about 30 million people were affected by disasters every
