The District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP) is the first hand guiding principle for disaster management. It will play a pivotal role to cope up with unseen nature’s fury that occurs every year. The information available in DDMP is valuable in terms of its use throughout the DM cycle. Utmost attention has been paid to make it handy, precise rather than a bulky one. While preparing this plan, most of the issues, relevant to crisis management, have been carefully dealt with. Efforts have been made to collect and develop this plan to make it more applicable and effective to handle any type of disaster in the Capital. The DDMP also contains the Resource inventory of the district.
