Abstract
Resilience thinking argues that disaster governance must consider the drivers such as resource management, development, efficiency, and sustainability as root causes of vulnerability to disasters and devise strategies to address them. It aims at building community capacities to cope with disasters in the short term and mainstreaming and integrating disaster risk reduction strategies with developmental priorities in the long term. This chapter presents a case for the need of resilience thinking in disaster governance and assesses policy framework of disaster governance in India vis-à-vis resilience thinking. It argues for mainstreaming resilience thinking in a manner that leads to judicious resource management and sustainable development.KeywordsResilience thinkingDisaster GovernanceDisaster Risk ReductionPolicy Framework
