KSDMA started implementing disability inclusive disaster risk reduction programme since 2015. In order to partially support post flood 2018 housing reconstruction efforts of weaker sections, KSDMA through United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) mobilised Rs. 8.25 crores purely from non-governmental sources. The UNDP support was for 5000 flood affected weaker families in Pathanamthitta, Idukki and Wayanad District with Rs. 16,500/- family. Hon’ble Chief Minister benevolently extended an additional support of Rs. 10 crores from Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund to raise the support to Rs. 25,000/- per family for 7300 families of Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha, Kottayam, Idukki, Ernakulam, Thrissur, Palakkad and Wayanad districts.
