The webinar series include four webinars focusing on issues apropos of Thunderstorms and Lightning, Cloudburst and Floods, Cyclones and Storm Surges and Climate Change and Extreme Weather Events. The webinar series focussed on enhancing human capacity in terms of better understanding of Hydro-Meteorological Hazards Risk and effective collaborative actions, by implementing Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi's 10-point agenda and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, for reducing risk and enhancing the resilience of affected communities and surroundings.

Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, Mr Nityanand Rai inaugurated the first webinar in the series on July 14 on the subject "Thunderstorms and Lightning" of the webinar series. In his address, Mr Rai had highlighted the major interventions carried out by the Government of India's departments/agencies for reducing the adverse risks of Hydro-Meteorological disasters. He had also emphasised on focusing the collaborative short and long term mitigation and reduction measures to diminish the adverse impacts of these disasters.

The webinar series was addressedby dignitaries including Mr G.V.V. Sarma, Member Secretary, NDMA; Dr. Rajeevan, Secretary, Ministry of Earth Science; Dr. V.
