The National Cyclone Risk Mitigation Project seeks to minimize vulnerability in the cyclone hazard prone States and Union Territories of India and make people and infrastructure disaster resilient, in harmony with conservation of the coastal eco-system.

The Project aims to fulfil its Mission by undertaking following structural and non structural measures:

(i). Strengthening cyclone warning systems by improving the last mile connectivity for dissemination of early warnings and advisories from authorities to communities and to receive feedback from communities by the authorities.
(ii). Construction and sustainable maintenance of multi-purpose cyclone shelters.
(iii). Construction of connecting roads and bridges.
(iv). Construction of coastal embankments in selected places to stop saline ingress to protect crops, vital property and population.
(v). Shelterbelt plantation and mangrove plantation/regeneration.
(vi). Detailed Hazard, Vulnerability and Risk Assessment studies of coastal districts, provide technical assistance for preparing high priority risk mitigation investments, preparation of long term training and capacity building strategy, and strengthening institutional capacity for damage and loss assessment.
(vii). Strengthening community level preparedness and building the capacity of the communities to manage disasters as the first responders. Identify support and other stakeholders and build their capacities for coordinated and systematic response and mitigation measures. Awareness generation regarding preparedness and mitigation measures.
