2. Why?
Climate change is likely to be perceived through experience of extreme weather events
Therefore, response to climate change will perhaps happen through adaptation to climate hazards
Important to characterize the institutional mechanisms and structures in place for responding to natural (and climate-related) disasters

3. Disaster management
Climate hazards within overall context of disaster management
Statutory responsibility of state governments
Central government provides logistic and financial support
Elaborate response mechanism at national level
State level responses vary

4. CENTRAL SECTOR SCHEME FOR DISASTER MANAGEMENT - SALIENT FEATURES
* Human resource Development

* Setting up of Disaster Management Faculties in States
* Programmes for Community Participation and Public Awareness
* Observing National Disaster Reduction Day
* Activities to achieve the goals and objectives of IDNDR/ISDR

5. Types Of Disaster
* Natural Disaster
* Man-Made Disaster

6. Natural Disaster
A natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of the Earth; examples include floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and other geologic processes. A natural disaster can cause loss of life or property damage, and typically leaves some economic damage in its wake, the severity of which depends on the affected population's resilience, or ability to recover.[1]
An adverse event will not rise to the level of a disaster if it occurs in an area without vulnerable population.[2][3][4] In a vulnerable area, however, such as San Francisco, an earthquake can have disastrous consequences and leave lasting damage, requiring years to repair.

7. Man Made Disaster
Anthropogenic hazards or human-made hazards can result in the form of a human-made disaster. In this case, anthropogenic means threats having an element of human intent, negligence, or error; or involving a failure of a human-made system. It results in huge loss of life and property. It further affects a person's mental, physical and social well-being. This is opposed to natural disasters resulting from natural hazards.

8. Disaster Impact
Economic and financial impacts Major natural disasters can and do have severe negative short-run economic impacts. Disasters also appear to have adverse longer-term consequences for economic growth, development and poverty reduction. But, negative impacts are not inevitable. Vulnerability is shifting quickly, especially in countries experiencing economic transformation - rapid growth, urbanization and related technical and social changes.

9. Observations
Recognition of linkage between natural hazards and development
Connecting developmental programs (DPAP, NWDB) to disaster management
Forecasting and warning (technology use)
Contingency planning
Foodgrain availability
Preparedness
Adaptive capacity by creating a management system
However, focus still on relief; recovery and adaptive capacity not thought through
