Key Challenges DRM system is largely relief and response oriented; Lack of comprehensive DRM agenda at different levels; National DRM Plan available: not widely circulated & not supported by legal framework; Limited understanding of roles and responsibilities (in DRM); DM Act of 1987 - outdated; Effective early warning system (floods, drought, cyclones, etc.); Technical capability gaps in analysis of new satellite data; Lack of SOPs for preparedness, response & recovery;
