Therefore, planning and organizing of rapid forces which can work during such mishaps have been developed by all the nations in the form of the natural disaster management. India which has different types of vegetation and geography witnesses almost all the kind of disasters most common among them all being floods. Therefore, a National Disaster Management Authority has been established. It is apex body which looks after the management and control of such accident. It has been established under Disaster Management Act, 2005. Its responsibility is like that of a state which is also helped by central government through the Ministry of Home Affairs.
