Panaji: The state government will set up a state disaster emergency response centre at Porvorim which will be outsourced to a professional private agency. The centre will help response teams take preventive measures or proactive steps to mitigate the impact of disasters like flooding, landslides and tree collapse, especially in monsoon.
The centre will operate 24 x 7 and will be equipped with rain gauges and weather station, which will help monitor disaster-prone areas in real time.
