Three stages in disaster management.
The first is disaster mitigation—taking long-term steps such as putting in place early warning systems and rainwater harvesting structures to reduce the impact of disasters .
The second is disaster relief—where affected persons are provided assistance and essential services are restored. The third is disaster reconstruction—where damaged infrastructure is rebuilt.

Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI):
1) Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi first proposed CDRI during the 2016 Asian Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction.
2) The CDRI was later conceptualized in the International Workshop on Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (IWDRI) in 2018-19.
3) The coalition envisages 3 tiered structures viz Governing Council (GC), Executive Committee (EC) and a Secretariat of the Society.
# The objectives of CDRI are:
The CDRI aims to serve as a platform where knowledge is generated and exchanged on
different aspects of disaster and climate resilience of infrastructure.
The work of CDRI is to focus on relevant thematic areas including the four major themes of
a) Risk Assessment for key infrastructure sectors at multiple
scales.
b) Standards, regulation and mechanisms for enforcement.
c) Role of finance in promoting disaster resilience.
d) Predictable mechanisms for supporting disaster recovery
in key infrastructure sectors.
The charter of CDRI has been shared with 38 countries including G 20 and non-G 20 nations. So far nine countries viz. Afghanistan, Australia, Bhutan, Fiji, Italy, Mauritius, Mongolia, Sri Lanka and United Kingdom have conveyed their willingness to join the CDRI in writing.
