Answer: Prime Minister
Notes: National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) is the apex government body responsible for laying down policies related to disaster management in India. It is chaired by Prime Minister and has nine other members. It was set up as per the Disaster Management Act, 2005. It is mainly involved in coordinating response to natural and manmade disasters and improving disaster resilience within India. As the northeastern state of Assam faces floods and rain-induced landslides, NDMA has recently released dos and don’ts before, during and after the floods. It also provided tips to follow during the evacuation process.
