The district of Dima Hasao in Assam is vulnerable to the natural disaster like landslide, cyclones, earth-quakes, etc. This needs a District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP) for Dima Hasao District with a special stress on landslide which mostly becomes a seasonal disaster.The DDMP is so planned that it can be pressed into action in case of any emergency, be it – natural or human induced.  

 Disaster Management covers a broad range of interventions undertaken before, during and after a disaster to prevent or minimize loss of life and property, minimize human suffering and accelerate recovery. The management of a disaster can be viewed as a series of phases including Preparedness, Response, Relief, Recovery (Rehabilitation and Reconstruction.), Prevention, and Mitigation. The district administration is the focal point for implementing all government plans and activities. The actual day-to-day functional responsibilities for administering relief and response actions lie with the Deputy Commissioner who supervise and co-ordinates among all line departments at the district level.
