In April 2026, which organization was at the forefront of coordinating India's disaster response and preparedness initiatives for cyclones along the eastern coast, as per official updates from the Ministry of Home Affairs?
National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA)
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) is the apex statutory body under the Disaster Management Act, 2005, chaired by the Prime Minister and working through the Ministry of Home Affairs.
For cyclones along the eastern coast (Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu), NDMA coordinates central agencies, state governments, NDRF deployment and inter-ministerial preparedness under its National Cyclone Risk Mitigation Project.
SDRFs are state-level responders, IMD provides weather forecasts, and NIDM is a training and research institute; none of them holds the overall coordination mandate.
Hence, the coordinating body is the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).
