Detailed disaster management plan for road & highway sector unveiled
The New Indian Express Madurai
|August 23, 2025
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has finalized a Disaster Management Plan (DMP)—a comprehensive framework for managing natural and man-made calamities with a focus on maintaining and restoring connectivity on roads and highways.
It outlines strategies for prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery, including updated road design standards, community awareness programmes, and adoption of ‘Build Back Better’ principle in post-calamity reconstruction.
Case studies such as landslide mitigation along NH-44 and 5 (2022), cyclone preparedness in Odisha (2021), glacial lake outburst flood in Uttarakhand (2021), post-flood reconstruction in Kerala (2018) highlight the plan’s practical approach, officials said.
