Page 1 of 2 India is highly vulnerable to both natural and manmade disasters. Last few years have shown an increased frequency of disasters resulting in a large number of casualties and huge economic loss. In 2007, India witnessed a major flood disaster at North Bihar which is considered the worst in the living memory. EHA Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit (DMMU) responded rapidly by mobilizing resources and volunteers and provided relief materials to more than 11000 families. This is perhaps the biggest ever emergency response in the history of EHA. It is significant that most of the EHA hospitals and community projects are located in multi hazard areas and our target communities are often affected by various natural calamities. |
