CII

Disaster Management

Every year, natural and manmade disasters cause enormous loss of lives and property across the country. CII has sought to involve Indian industry in the implementation of the different schemes under the National Disaster Management Plan. CII also works with various agencies to capacitate different segments of the urban and rural populations to combat and manage major disasters. In line with this, CII conducts training and certification programmes, organizes workshops and conferences, releases publications, resource directories and multimedia kits for mass awareness, and provides relief and rehabilitation support to affected people.
