The prime minister's advise to disaster management organizations is to "be proactive"

According to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who also stressed the use of cutting-edge technology for risk reduction, disaster management organizations should be proactive rather than reactive in their approach to minimize damage.

During the third National Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction event, which was inaugurated by Modi in Delhi, he said: "We cannot halt natural tragedies, but we can enhance our system. We must be proactive rather than reactive.

The prime minister said, "Enriching native technology with modern technology is need of the hour," using the example of Kutch, Gujarat's Bhunga dwellings, which mostly withstood the earthquake in 2001. We will be able to better prepare for catastrophe resilience when we connect local resilience examples with emerging technologies.
