Ladakh, with its unique geographical features and extreme weather conditions, is prone to natural disasters such as avalanches, landslides, and floods. Ladakh Police plays a critical role in disaster preparedness and response, working in close coordination with disaster response teams, the Indian Army, and local authorities. The police force has developed a set of protocols to swiftly respond to these disasters, including creating disaster management teams trained in rescue operations and relief distribution.
Ladakh Police conducts regular training exercises to ensure that their personnel are equipped to handle emergencies, such as evacuations, search and rescue missions, and providing aid to affected residents. In addition, the police are involved in creating public awareness about disaster preparedness, educating local communities and tourists about emergency evacuation routes, first aid procedures, and the importance of staying informed through local communication channels during a disaster. By strengthening its disaster response capabilities, Ladakh Police aims to minimize the impact of natural calamities and ensure the safety and well-being of its residents and visitors.
