- The Disaster Management Authority operates at all levels of government, from the national to the regional level. This work primarily concerns the management of disasters and addressing the issues faced by affected individuals.

- At the state level, there are district-level units, with the district collector accountable for disaster management and the implementation of rehabilitation programs. Subordinate to the district-level authorities are the Taluka and subsequently the Village Disaster Management Committees.
