12. MZCET/EEE/V Sem/MX3084/Unit 3 3. National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) Overview : The National Action Plan on Climate Change (2008) outlines India's approach to combating climate change while promoting sustainable development. Climate change impacts, such as rising sea levels, altered rainfall patterns, and increased frequency of extreme weather events, exacerbate disaster risks. Key Elements : Eight National Missions : Including missions on solar energy, energy efficiency, sustainable agriculture, and water management, all of which contribute to enhancing resilience to climate-induced disasters. Focus on Vulnerability : The plan emphasizes the need to address the vulnerabilities of regions prone to disasters due to climate change. Adaptation Strategies : Includes provisions for developing climate adaptation measures, particularly for agriculture and water resources, which are vital for reducing disaster risks. 4. The National Policy on Resettlement and Rehabilitation (2007) Overview : This policy addresses the need for resettling and rehabilitating communities affected by natural disasters, as well as development-induced displacements (e.g., due to large infrastructure projects). Key Elements : Framework for Resettlement : Provides a framework for ensuring that displaced persons are resettled in a manner that restores their livelihoods and basic entitlements. Involuntary Displacement : Ensures that displaced people receive appropriate compensation, rehabilitation, and resettlement as per prescribed guidelines. 4.5

13. MZCET/EEE/V Sem/MX3084/Unit 3 5. The Environment Protection Act (1986) Overview : While primarily an environmental protection law, the Environment Protection Act (1986) also plays an important role in disaster management, especially in mitigating environmental hazards and managing the impact of natural and human-made disasters. Key Elements : Hazardous Substances : Provides regulations for handling hazardous substances, which are crucial in the event of chemical accidents or industrial disasters. Emergency Response Plans : Mandates the preparation of emergency plans for handling chemical and nuclear accidents, helping mitigate the impact of such disasters. 6. The Factories Act (1948) Overview : The Factories Act (1948) is focused on ensuring worker safety in industrial settings and includes provisions to manage risks associated with industrial accidents, which can lead to major disasters. Key Elements : Safety Measures : Imposes safety measures for factories to prevent accidents. Disaster Preparedness : Requires factories to have emergency plans in place for dealing with accidents such as fires or chemical spills. 4.5

The Mines Act (1952) Overview : The Mines Act (1952) ensures the safety and health of workers in mines and addresses the risks of accidents in mining operations, which can lead to disasters. Key Elements : Safety Standards : Establishes strict safety regulations to prevent mining accidents. Disaster Management : Requires emergency preparedness and response plans for incidents such as mine collapses or gas explosions. 8. The Public Liability Insurance Act (1991) Overview : The Public Liability Insurance Act (1991) is a key piece of legislation designed to provide compensation for victims in the event of accidents caused by hazardous activities, especially in industries dealing with toxic substances. Key Elements : Insurance Coverage : Mandates industries handling hazardous materials to maintain insurance coverage to compensate victims in case of accidents. Public Claims : Facilitates claims for compensation by victims of hazardous activities, reducing the burden on government funds for disaster response. 4.5
