NLMET has responded to natural disasters that have caused extensive damage across India

NLMET has a three phase approach to disaster management:
Relief
Rehabilitation
Rebuild

We have been able to motivate an army of local volunteers and support to fuel these operations in the different locations.

The Need: When nature strikes in its fury it is often seen that humans are caught off guard, and many times the calamity and damage is of a vast nature, unsettling many lives and robbing even the basic necessities from those affected. At such times is of the outmost importance that help is given to those survivors so that they are able to cope up with the horror.
