The pursuance of SANDAI framework has encouraged scientists to demonstrate their plans for action towards implement-oriented science. The contribution of academia to natural disasters like earthquakes have been examined with respect to scientist’s intervention and opportunities created by World Bank and the Governments. While priority 1 of understanding earthquake disaster risk may be considered as wonderfully experimented in Global Earthquake Model (GEM) which was otherwise more for the insurance and reassurance, the pursuit to strengthen disaster risk governance has been well taken up by the Governments. Phase 2 of National Seismic Risk Mitigation Program of India intends to undertake suitable measures to mitigate earthquake disaster and aimed at reducing vulnerability of communities and their assets by taking appropriate mitigation measures and strengthen the capacity of national and state entities, a goal synergetic to SANDAI framework i.e., substantial reduction of disaster risk. The need of Earthquake Early Warning System can never be over emphasized. Some of the important steps has been already undertaken by NDMA and IIT Roorkee. The role of SAADRI in South Asia becomes more important in becoming a bridge in such cases where the disaster does not recognize international boundaries.
