It then details specific actions to be taken before, during, and after monsoon-related disasters to mitigate risks and enhance community resilience. Key stakeholders, such as district security agencies, the District Disaster Management Committee (DDMC), and the Red Cross Society, are mobilized and given clearly defined roles to ensure a coordinated response. The plan also includes provisions for early warning systems, public awareness campaigns, and the pre-positioning of emergency supplies in high-risk areas. By focusing on preparedness, the plan aims to minimize the impact of monsoon-related disasters and ensure that relief and rescue operations are carried out swiftly and efficiently, ultimately safeguarding lives and livelihoods in Darchula.
