The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) on Thursday urged the corporate sector to connect proactively for managing disaster.
The National Stakeholder Council meet of the Corporate Disaster Resource Network (CDRN) was held at NDMA Bhawan to engage private sector in the process for disaster mitigation and response activities.
Speaking at the occasion, M Shashidhar Reddy, vice chairman, NDMA, said, "CDRN is a platform that provides real time information which is critically required in times of emergencies to reach out to people and NDMA assures full support to CDRN for private sector dialogues on disaster preparedness and response."
J K Sinha, member of NDMA, said, "During the time of disaster, there is a lot of requirement of relief materials, services, personnel etc. However, lack of information about the available resources makes it complex and challenging. CDRN has helped to provide resources effectively and efficiently preventing disasters within disasters".
Dr. Muzaffar Ahmed, member, NDMA, said, "Private sector has pool of resources in all major areas with pan-India reach and to leverage the same in disaster management by supporting through NSC would definitely make an impact. Disaster management can only be successful when everybody joins hands together to support in any manner."
