National Disaster Response Force
Introduction The '''National Disaster Response Force''' ('''NDRF''') is an Indian specialized force constituted "for the purpose of special response to a threatening disaster situation or disaster" under the Disaster Management Act, 2005.The "Apex Body for Disaster Management" in India is the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA). The Chairman of the NDMA is the Prime Minister.The responsibility of managing disasters in India is that of the State Government. The ‘Nodal Ministry’ in the central government for management of natural disasters is the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).When 'calamities of severe nature' occur, the Central Government is responsible for providing aid and assistance to the affected state, including deploying, at the State's request, of Armed Forces, Central Paramilitary Forces, National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), and such communication, air and other assets, as are available and needed.National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) is under the National Disaster Management Authority. The head of the NDRF is designated as Director General. The Director Generals of NDRF are IPS officers on deputation from Indian police organizations. Director General is a three-star officer.The NDRF is a top-heavy organization which in addition to the Director General has several Inspector Generals (IG) and Deputy IGs, who are flag officers and wear badges of rank.
Composition National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) is a force of 16 battalions, organized on para-military lines, and manned by persons on deputation from the para-military forces of India: three Border Security Force, three Central Reserve Police Force, two Central Industrial Security Force, two Indo-Tibetan Border Police, two Sashastra Seema Bal and one of the Assam Rifles. The total strength of each battalion is approximately 1149.Each battalion is capable of providing 18 self-contained specialist search and rescue teams of 45 personnel each including engineers, technicians, electricians, dog squads and medical/paramedics.
Deployment Major Disasters in India (1980–2009)These NDRF battalions are located at twelve different locations in the country based on the vulnerability profile to cut down the response time for their deployment. During the preparedness period/in a threatening disaster situation, proactive deployment of these forces will be carried out by the NDMA in consultation with state authorities. The present location of NDRF Battalions are as follows: S. No. NDRF Unit State PMF 1 01 Bn NDRF, Guwahati Assam BSF 202 Bn NDRF, Nadia West Bengal BSF 3 03 Bn NDRF, Cuttack Odisha CISF 4 04 Bn NDRF, Vellore Tamil Nadu CISF 5 05 Bn NDRF, Pune Maharashtra CRPF 6 06 Bn NDRF, Vadodara Gujarat CRPF 7 07 Bn NDRF, Bhatinda Punjab ITBP 8 08 Bn NDRF, Ghaziabad Uttar Pradesh ITBP  9 09 Bn NDRF, Patna Bihar BSF 10 10 Bn NDRF, Vijayawada Andhra Pradesh CRPF 11 11 Bn NDRF, Varanasi Uttar Pradesh SSB 12 12 Bn NDRF, Itanagar Arunachal Pradesh SSB 13 13 Bn NDRF, Sambha Jammu and Kashmir Assam Rifles 14 14 Bn NDRF, Mandi Himachal Pradesh ITBP 15 15 Bn NDRF, Haldwani Uttarakhand ITBP16 16 Bn NDRF, Najafgarh New Delhi BSF
Functional Parameters The aim of the National Disaster Management Authority is to build a safer and disaster resilient India by developing a holistic, proactive, multi-disaster and technology driven strategy for disaster management. This has to be achieved through a culture of prevention, mitigation and preparedness to generate a prompt and efficient response at the time of disasters. This national vision inter alia, aims at inculcating a culture of preparedness among all stakeholders.NDRF has proved its importance in achieving this vision by highly skilled rescue and relief operations, regular and intensive training and re-training, familiarization exercises within the area of responsibility of respective NDRF Battalions, carrying out mock drills and joint exercises with the various stakeholders.
Disaster Response NDRF has proved its efficacy with its commendable performance during various disasters including the drowning cases, building collapses, landslides, devastating floods and Cyclones. NDRF has saved  human lives and retrieved 2760 dead bodies of disaster victims in 73 response operations in the country. Some of the major response operations of NDRF as below:'''2007'''* Flood in Bhavnagar, Gujarat – 3–5 July 2007 – Rescued 291 people; distributed 3,750 food packets* Flood in Rajkot, Gujarat – 3–5 July 2007 – Rescued 291 people; distributed 3,750 food packets'''2008'''* Building collapse (Hotel Shakunt) in Ahmedabad, Gujarat – 3–5 Feb 2008 – Saved 10 people and recovered 6 dead bodies* Flood in Lakhimpur, Assam – 14 June – 20 July 2008 – Rescued 2500 civilians* Flood in Dhemaji, Assam – 16 June – 31 July 2008 – Rescued 600 people* Flood in Lakhimpur, Assam – 21 July – 4 August 2008 – Evacuated 2000 peopleKosi breach in Bihar* Kosi breach in Bihar – 20 August 2008 – Saved over 105,000 people including women, children and the elderly; distributed medicines and water bottles* Flood in Lakhimpur, Assam – 31 Aug – 9 September 2008 – Saved 750 people* Flood in Puri, Cuttack, Kendrapara & Jagatsinghpur, Odisha – Sept 2008 – Saved over 1000 people* Flood in Kamrup, Assam – 28 September 2008 – Saved 350 people* Flood in Tiruvarur, Tamil Nadu – 26–30 Nov 2008 – Saved 773 people* Flood in Chennai, Tamil Nadu – 26 Nov – 2 December 2008 – Rescued 1550 people'''2009'''* Cyclone Aila (24 Pargana North & South, West Bengal) – 25 May – 10 June 2009 – Rescued 2000 people; distribution of medicine to 30,000 victims & food packets to 16,000 homeless victims* Flood in Barpeta, Assam – 27 May 2009 – Saved 300 people* Flood in Junagarh and Porbandar, Gujarat – 16–29 July 2009 – Saved 2225 people* Flood in Kasarkode, Kannur and Ernakulam, Kerala – 17–24 July 2009 – Saved 180 people* Flood in Sitamarhi, Bihar (Bagmati breach) – 2–9 Aug 2009 – Rescued 1034 people; distributed medicines to 831 victims* Flood in Howrah & Hooghly, West Bengal – 8–14 Sep 2009 – Rescue 675 people* Andhra Pradesh & Karnataka Floods – Oct 2009 – Saved 10,659 peopleImage:NDRF rescue operation in Karnataka.JPG|NDRF rescue and relief operation, Karnataka, 2009Image:Orissa flood 2009.JPG|Rescue and relief work during the Odisha Flood of 2009Image:NDRF team shifting school children during Cyclone Aila.JPG|NDRF shifting school children to safer places during Cyclone Aila, 2009'''2010'''* Building collapse at Bellary, Karnataka – 27 January 2010 – Saved 20 human lives and recovered 27 dead bodies* Flood in Guwahati, Assam – 20–25 April 2010 – Saved 300 human lives* Cyclone Laila in Andhra Pradesh & Karnataka – 18 May 2010'''2011'''* 46 members NDRF team performed search and rescue operation in Onagawa, Miyagi (Japan).

About 780 NDRF personnel trained in flood rescue operations along with 153 high capacity inflatable boats and other rescue equipment were deployed in the flood affected areas. The swift and highly skilled operations of NDRF saved more than 100,000 people trapped in swirling waters of river Kosi. NDRF personnel distributed relief supplies including drinking water to the stranded flood victims. Medical camps were also established to provide medical care to the flood affected people. Impressed with prompt and efficient response of NDRF, Chief Minister of Bihar Shri Nitish Kumar approached Prime Minister Shri Manmohan Singh for a NDRF Bn to be stationed in Bihar and offered  of land at Bihta near Patna.NDRF commendable rescue operations were no less appreciated during the 2008 floods in Odisha, Maharashtra, Kerala and Assam.On 25 May 2009 Cyclone Aila hit West Bengal coast with a fury unprecedented in recent history. It took at least 94 lives, seven of them in Kolkata, and affected over 4 million people. More than six lakh houses were destroyed completely or damaged partially. NDRF promptly responded to the devastating situation and 600 personnel of NDRF with 84 boats and other rescue equipment started rescue and relief operations at cyclone affected areas of district 24 Pargana North and South of West Bengal. During the operations NDRF personnel rescued around 2000 trapped persons and distributed 50 truckloads of relief materials to the affected people.On 1 October 2009 in the wake of worsening flood situations in the States of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, the State Government of both the states sent their requests for deployment of National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) for rescue and relief operations. NDMA mobilised 963 flood rescue trained personnel (including some deep divers) and 308 inflatable motorised boats from 05 NDRF Bns located at Arakkonam (Chennai), Pune, Mundali (Odisha), Greater Noida and Bhatinda and airlifted on 2–3 Oct 2009 in Air Force IL-76 and AN-32 aircraft from nearest Air Force bases and Civil Airports. The rescue personnel deployed in 04 districts of Andhra Pradesh (Kurnool, Vijayawada, Mehboob Nagar and Nandyal) and 04 districts of Karnataka (Bagalkote, Raichur, Gadag and Vijaypur) and immediately started rescue and relief operations in the flood affected districts of both the states.NDRF rescued tens of thousands of persons marooned in the floods at these two States and distributed over 40 quintals of food and drinking water. The medical teams of NDRF at these districts administering medical first response and distributing medicines to the flood victims.On 26 January 2010 a five-storied under-construction residential building collapsed at Bellary, Karnataka with about 50 people trapped under the huge debris. 3 rescue teams (102 personnel) of NDRF Bn Pune promptly airlifted to Bellary and NDRF personnel carried out round the clock operation with the help of search & rescue equipment and dogs for 09 days. In the meticulously carried out operation under huge debris the NDRF managed to rescue 20 live persons. The last person was rescued on the 9th day. NDRF also retrieved 27 dead bodies trapped under debris. rescue operations in Kerala(2018)'''2020'''* Gas leak in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh – 7 May 2020* Cyclone  Amphan in West Bengal'''2021'''* Glacial outburst flood in Uttarakhand – 7 February 2021*Cyclone Yaas in Odisha and West Bengal'''2023''' * The NDRF teams were deployed in Assam to tackle the annual flood situation. The force carried out rescue operations, evacuating stranded people and providing them with essential relief materials. * NDRF was instrumental in minimizing the loss of life during the cyclone that hit Odisha. The force was involved in preemptive evacuations, search and rescue operations, and distribution of relief materials. * The NDRF teams were quick to respond to the earthquake that struck Himachal Pradesh. They carried out search and rescue operations, helping to locate and save trapped individuals. * The NDRF has been actively involved in rescue efforts in Bharuch district, specifically in Nikora Village. The force saved 105 people stranded in low-lying areas and relocated them to safety in collaboration with the civil administration. This operation was particularly challenging due to the water level being above the danger mark.
Training NDRF personnel undergoing Heli-slithering TrainingFlood Rescue TrainingSearch and Rescue TrainingTraining of Dogs by Swiss ExpertsCBRN Training of NDRF PersonnelIn the future, the key to efficient disaster response will depend primarily on the effectiveness of the training and re-training of Specialized Disaster Response Forces. With this vision, a detailed "Training Regime for Disaster Response" has been prepared by NDMA/NDRF identifying the specific disaster response training courses and devising a unified, structured and uniform course module as well as a syllabus for these training courses. The proposition behind a unified, structured, uniform course module and syllabus is that first the entire NDRF battalions will successfully attain these courses and subsequently the State Disaster Response Forces (SDRF) and other stakeholders will be trained on the same lines. The need for a uniformly structured course module emerged from the fact that if all the NDRF battalions and other ‘first responders’ undergo the same training exercise, the coordination between different stakeholders would be expedient and well planned at the time of any major disaster where different NDRF battalions, SDRF battalions and other stakeholders will be working together in close coordination with each other.

NDRF personnel are invariably trained in courses like Flood Rescue, Collapsed Structure Search and Rescue, Medical First Responders, Rope rescue, Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Emergencies; Dignified Disposal of Dead Bodies etc. NDRF personnel are trained in prestigious institutes like NISA, DRDO, BARC, CME, Army, Navy and Air Force as well in foreign countries like US, Singapore, China, Finland, Korea, Switzerland etc.===Training abroad===* INSARAG Asia-Pacific Exercise, China, 4–7 August 2006* OPCW Chemical Emergency Course, Finland, 21–25 August 2006* UNDAC Induction Course, Korea, 17–29 Sep 2006* INSARAG Asia-Pacific Exercise, Mongolia, 31 July – 2 August 2007* UNDAC Induction Course, Malaysia, 10–14 July 2007* INSARAG Meeting, Korea, 3–6 Oct 2007* UNDAC Induction Course, New Zealand, 14–16 Oct 2007* INSARAG Asia-Pacific Exercise, Switzerland, 17–20 Nov 2008* Management of Dead Bodies, Geneva, Switzerland, 4–8 Feb 2008* Singapore Civil Defence Academy, Singapore, 10–27 March 2008* INSARAG Asia-Pacific Exercise, Philippines, 15–17 April 2008* APCSS, Honolulu, Hawaii, US, 29 May – 27 June 2008* Advanced Search & Rescue Course, Florida, US, 1–5 Sep 2008* Chemical Exercise, OPCW, Tehran, Iran, 1–5 Nov 2008* INSARAG Asia-Pacific Exercise, Nepal, 21–24 April 2009* APCSS, Honolulu, Hawaii, US, 20 Aug – 22 September 2009* Bio-terrorism Table top Exercise, Montreux, Switzerland, 7–8 Sep 2009===Training of NDRF===While the NDRF is being trained, re-trained and equipped as a specialist force for level three disasters, it is equally important to ensure capacity building of state police personnel who are invariably the first responders in any natural or man-made disasters. To ensure this, a two-pronged strategy is being suggested to the states: firstly, to train state police personnel in the basics of disaster management and secondly, to train at least one battalion equivalent out of their state armed police units as State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) on lines of the NDRF. In addition to police personnel, the SDRFs may be constituted from existing resources of the Fire Services, Home Guards and Civil Defence. NDRF Bns and their training institutions will assist the States/UTs in this effort. The State/UTs will also be encouraged to set up DM training facilities in their respective Police Training Colleges and include this subject in their basic and in-service courses.205 police personnel from 21 states of the country have been trained.

In case of any disaster, the local population is the actual first responder. It may take some time for the district or state administration to mobilise rescue teams, including police and fire personnel. If the local people is properly sensitised about the precautions and preventive actions to be taken in case of any calamity, the loss of life and damage to property can be drastically reduced. Thus, one of the most important tasks of NDRF is to continuously engage themselves in the community capacity building and public awareness programmes, which includes training of people (the first-responders) and concerned government officials at different levels in the areas with high vulnerability. Along with community capacity building and public awareness exercises, NDRF is also actively engaged in area familiarisation exercises. Such exercises provide first-hand knowledge about the topography, access route to various disaster-prone areas, and the availability of local infrastructure/logistics which can be used in disaster response operations.
