In Maharashtra, all districts have their own disaster management plan to deal with calamities such as floods and landslides.

1. The plan deals extensively with the emergency, and evacuation measures to be taken up in cases of flood and landslide. 

2. The district-level disaster management plan has detailed information about geographical details, population, flood-prone areas, villages and other macro details. 

3. Nearly 14 such key departments are engaged in disaster mitigation measures and each one has been assigned a specific task to do at times of natural disasters. 

4. The administration is now training master trainers at the district level who in turn will train key persons at village and taluka levels to deal with a natural disaster. 

5. The administration through radio jingles, public advertisements and other measures is informing people about how to react at times of flood and landslide. 

6. Currently, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) gives weather forecast on daily basis and for the next 5 days with advice to farmers on when to start crop sowing and harvesting etc.
