The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) is set to conduct a mock exercise to assess earthquake preparedness in the northeastern states of Tripura, Nagaland, and Mizoram.
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) will be organizing a mock exercise focused on earthquake preparedness across three northeastern states: Tripura, Nagaland, and Mizoram. This initiative aims to evaluate and enhance the response mechanisms in place to handle seismic events in these vulnerable regions.
The exercise is designed to simulate earthquake scenarios, allowing authorities to test their readiness, coordination, and the effectiveness of existing disaster management protocols. It will involve various stakeholders, including state disaster management agencies, emergency services, and local administrations.
By conducting these drills, the NDMA seeks to identify potential gaps in preparedness and to ensure that personnel are well-trained and equipped to manage the aftermath of a significant earthquake, thereby safeguarding lives and minimizing damage.
