15th Finance Commission in its report made recommendations pertaining to the disaster risk management, which have been accepted by the Central Government. The Commission had adopted a new methodology for state-wise allocations, which replaces the expenditure driven methodology. The new methodology is a combination of capacity (as reflected through past expenditure), risk exposure (area and population) and proneness to hazard and vulnerability (disaster risk index). Central Government has constituted the National Disaster Mitigation Fund (NDMF) on 05.02.2021. Central Government has also advised all the State Governments to set up State Disaster Mitigation Funds (SDMFs). So far, 25 States have intimated setting up of SDMF. For SDMF, an amount of Rs. 32,031 crore has been allocated for the period 2021-22 to 2025-26. The details regarding Central share and State share of funds allocated and released from SDMF to various States including Odisha is given in Annexure.
