When disasters strike in the times of Covid-19, the challenge for disaster managers increases manifold. In the last one year, India was hit by three cyclones in its coastal areas while Uttarakhand faced a tragedy as recent as February. Learning from its experiences, New Delhi would be hosting the annual conference of International Coalition of Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI) from March 17-19. To be addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the conference would be attended digitally by prime ministers of Britain, Fiji and Italy. “We expect 900 participants and are looking at a whole lot of issues around resilient infrastructure including those of policy, sectoral focus, technical issues, etc,” said Kamal Kishore, member, National Disaster Management Authority.
