Parliament brought in the Disaster Management Act in the year 2005 (DM Act 2005). From 2005 to 2024, the country has seen sweeping progress, growth, changes and has also witnessed how weather events have become unpredictable. The Act emphasised a shift from a reactive to a proactive approach, focusing on preparedness, mitigation, and response. But in the run-up to the 2030 agenda, we are faced with cascading risks born out of disasters, climate extremes, pandemics, industrialisation and consequences for public health which remains a missing context in the Act and also now missing in the Amendment Bill 2024.
