Jharkhand, prone to natural disasters such as floods, landslides, and earthquakes, requires efficient and well-coordinated disaster response teams. The Jharkhand Police have a critical role in disaster preparedness and relief operations. Regular training exercises are conducted to equip police officers with the necessary skills to manage disaster scenarios, including crowd control, search and rescue, and providing first aid. Specialized teams have been formed for quick deployment during emergencies, ensuring a swift response to natural disasters.
During actual disasters, such as the 2024 floods in the state, Jharkhand Police were instrumental in managing evacuations, coordinating with other emergency services, and providing logistical support to relief teams. The police also set up temporary shelters for displaced residents, assisted in distributing relief materials, and ensured the safety of vulnerable communities. The ongoing focus on improving disaster response capabilities ensures that the police are well-prepared for any crisis that may arise in the future.
