National Disaster Management Plan has included media as main stakeholder during NDMP Implementation. The following two interventions mainly focuses on Awareness campaigns:-

13. IMPORTANCE OF EFFECTIVE MEDIA Coord.
Communication is an important part of both disaster prevention and management
Communication can educate, warn, inform, and empower people to take practical steps to protect themselves from natural hazards.
Effective communication bridges the gap between disaster managers/ officials and the community in all three phases i.e. before, during and after disasters
Educating the public about disasters
Gathering and transmitting information about affected areas;

14. IMPORTANCE OF EFFECTIVE MEDIA Coord.
Alerting government officials, relief organizations, and the public to specific needs; and facilitating discussions about disaster preparedness and response
Mass media highlighting about impending disasters leads to appropriate individual / community action
Help implementing effective disaster prevention strategies
Help providing timely relief
Help coordinating rescue operations including evacuation of people to safe areas

15. IMPORTANCE OF EFFECTIVE MEDIA Coord.
DM Organization should be source of usable and reliable information in a concise and readily understandable form for media men.
Regular, routine interaction, before a disaster strikes, lays the groundwork for effective working relationships in the aftermath of a disaster.
One vital factor in effective communications is the creation and repetition of precise, effective public service messages.

16. Role of Media in DRR
Analysis of risk sources and patterns / factors increasing vulnerability of communities
Public Information (potential dangers and risks)
Early Warning dissemination
Preparedness Information
Advocate for risk reduction
Encourage people’s participation
