Which is not a division of the National Disaster Management Authority ?
Finance
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), set up under the Disaster Management Act, 2005 with the Prime Minister as chairperson, carries out its technical work through functional divisions such as Policy and Planning, Mitigation, Operations and Communications, and Capacity Building.
Policy and Planning prepares the national policy, plans and guidelines; Mitigation looks after risk reduction and mitigation projects; Operations and Communications handles response, early warning and communication networks. All three are therefore disaster-management divisions.
Finance is a general support function of the organisation, like administration, and is not one of the NDMA's disaster-management divisions.
Hence, the answer is Finance.
