Answer 1

In 2016, the National Disaster Management Plan (NDMP) was released.

Key Points

The plan's main objective is to make India more disaster-resistant and significantly reduce the damage done during and after natural and man-made disasters.
The National Disaster Mitigation Plan (NDMP) acts as a manual or guide for government entities to use while responding to disasters.
It is based on the Sendai Framework, a plan put forth by the UN to significantly reduce disaster risk and losses in terms of lives and livelihoods.
The NDMP also complies with the National Policy on Disaster Management from 2009 and the Disaster Management Act from 2005.

Thus, India's disaster management plan is based on Sendai Framework.
