The Guidelines categorize the levels of disasters into L0, L1, L2,
& L3 based on the ability of various authorities to deal with
them.

L0 : denotes normal times which are expected to be utilised for


close monitoring, documentation, prevention, mitigation and
preparatory activities. This is the planning stage where plans at
all levels from community to the State shall be put in place.
Training on search and rescue, rehearsals, evaluation and
inventory updation for response activities will be carried out
during this time.

L1 : specifies disasters that can be managed at the district level,


however, the state and centre will remain in readiness to
provide assistance if needed.

L2 : specifies disaster situations that may require assistance and


active participation of the state, and the mobilisation of
resources at the state level.

L3 : disaster situations arise from large scale disasters where


districts and the state may not have the capacity to respond
adequately and require assistance from the central government
for reinstating the state and district machinery.
