Tomorrow’s Risk is Built Today
For reducing the probable disaster risk, it is essential
to understand the prevailing condition in conjunction
with past events and future scenarios. A multi-
dimensional approach need to be employed for an
effective Disaster Risk Reduction through Monitoring,
Planning & Execution.
The proactive approach and methodology
adopted by KSNDMC
is a unique model in the Country.
