Climate change has posed increasing challenges to law enforcement in Mizoram, where natural disasters such as floods, landslides, and extreme weather events have become more frequent and intense. These natural events often overwhelm local infrastructure and pose significant threats to public safety. The Mizoram Police play a critical role in disaster response and mitigation, coordinating with local authorities and other agencies to ensure timely evacuations, provide emergency relief, and maintain law and order in the aftermath of such events.
Additionally, the police face challenges in managing the environmental and security impacts of climate change, such as increased migration due to displacement from affected areas and the pressure on resources. With more frequent floods and landslides, the police are involved in search and rescue operations, preventing the loss of life, and helping to manage the long-term effects of climate change. In response to these challenges, the Mizoram Police have been focusing on disaster preparedness, including specialized training and the development of climate resilience strategies.
