National Disaster
Mitigation Resource Centres (NDMRC)
An Overview
The NDMRCs will be
co-located with the NDRF battalions. These will
also serve as repositories for NDMR bricks of
relief stores for 25,000 affected people, in
each of the nine locations. These will cater to
the emergent requirements especially for the
first 72-96 hours. At Kolkata and Chandigarh,
additional bricks of stores for 50,000 people
each will be kept for high altitude areas. These
stores will supplement the reserves maintained
by the respective states/UTs. In addition, these
centres will assist in running mock drills and
capacity development programmes. During
disasters, they will act as facilitators to the
states/UTs in deployment of central resources
and provide much needed additional link to the
centre.
