A community-based disaster management system is the need of the hour, Tourism Minister P.A. Mohamed Riyas has said.
Speaking after declaring the tribal hamlets in Wayanad district as disaster-resilient through videoconferencing on Friday, Mr. Riyas said a community that was trained to meet challenges related to climate change was the motto of the State government.
The project is aimed at setting up a disaster-resilient tribal community by providing training and organising awareness programmes on disaster management.
