This report tries to capture Sewa International's 25-year journey in the field of disaster management in India. The goal is to document empirical research on the organization's work. Since international and local plans to lessen the effects of natural disasters and adapt to their aftermath are being made and put into action more quickly, it is more important than ever to make the most of the resources we have. Because of this, it is becoming more and more important to have scientific ways to set up relevant research methods and validated data from previous disasters to support an evidence-based approach to reducing the risk of natural disasters. Interviews with volunteers, workers, partner organisations, and affected community members from disaster areas, as well as focus group discussions and shared learning dialogues, complemented the data collected through the primary technique of historical research using secondary sources. The report urges action over inaction. Late execution of much of what must be done has been recognised for years. We must also apply some current environmental lessons. We must ensure that governments, donors, and the humanitarian, development, climate, and environmental sectors prioritise help for the most vulnerable people, communities, and nations.
