Assam, being prone to natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and landslides, requires an agile and effective police response to mitigate damage and ensure public safety. The Assam Police play a crucial role in disaster response, helping with evacuations, providing emergency assistance, and ensuring law and order in affected areas. Floods, in particular, are a recurring issue, and police teams are often tasked with rescuing stranded people, distributing relief materials, and preventing looting or other criminal activities.
In addition to floods, the state also faces threats from earthquakes and landslides, particularly in the hilly regions. During such events, police officers coordinate with other emergency services to rescue victims, clear debris, and provide shelter and medical aid. Through continuous training and preparation, the Assam Police have enhanced their ability to respond to these crises swiftly, ensuring the safety and well-being of the affected population. Collaborative efforts with national and international agencies further improve disaster preparedness, making Assam’s response more resilient in the face of natural calamities.
