The correct answer is (a) State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA).
The SDMA is a statutory body constituted by the Government of Mizoram under the Disaster Management Act, 2005. It is responsible for planning, coordinating, and implementing disaster management activities in the state. The SDMA is headed by the Chief Secretary of Mizoram and has representatives from various government departments, civil society organizations, and the private sector.
The SDMA’s functions include:
- Preparing a state disaster management plan
- Coordinating the activities of various government departments and agencies involved in disaster management
- Providing relief and rehabilitation to affected people
- Promoting awareness about disaster preparedness and mitigation
The SDMA works closely with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and other state disaster management authorities to ensure effective disaster management in the country.
The other options are incorrect because:
- The National Crisis Management Committee (NCMC) is a national-level body responsible for coordinating the response to major crises and disasters.
- The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) is a government agency responsible for providing weather forecasts and warnings.
- The Mizoram Police is a state police force responsible for maintaining law and order in the state.
