The Role of Disaster affected people on Natural Disaster Management in Godavari Districts of Andhra Pradesh- An Overview

Abstract

In order to guarantee that all branches of government take action to prevent and lessen the effects of disasters, as well as to respond promptly and thoroughly to handle the situation involving a disaster, the Disaster Management Act established institutional mechanisms to oversee the creation of disaster management plans. Accordingly, studies were carried out to investigate the government's involvement and response of the disaster affected people on disaster management activities in the Andhra Pradesh Godavari Districts. For this purpose, data was collected from the parties involved using a questionnaire. For this study, two villages and thirty impacted households from each of the six primarily afflicted mandals in the Godavari districts were selected. Three hundred and sixty people completed the poll and shared their opinions about the state government's response, readiness, and rehabilitation activities in the case of a disaster. Thus, the results demonstrated that the victims of the disaster-affected area thought they had gotten efficient rehabilitation and restoration of lost property from the government in terms of readiness, preventive, reactive, and recovery activities.
