        abstract = {Climate change has intensified the frequency and severity of natural disasters worldwide, significantly affecting energy infrastructure and emergency response capabilities. In India, disasters such as cyclones, floods, and heatwaves often disrupt centralized electricity systems, resulting in prolonged power outages that hinder relief operations and critical public services. Renewable energy systems, particularly decentralized solar microgrids and hybrid energy storage solutions, offer promising alternatives for improving disaster resilience and ensuring reliable power supply during emergencies.
This study proposes a Crash-Based Renewable Energy Policy Framework for disaster management in India. The research adopts a qualitative and policy-oriented methodology based on secondary data collected from international organizations, national policy documents, and peer-reviewed literature. Policy reports from global institutions and Indian government agencies were analyzed to identify gaps between renewable energy policies and disaster management strategies.
The findings indicate that although India has made substantial progress in renewable energy deployment, the integration of renewable energy within disaster risk reduction frameworks remains limited. Existing policies emphasize sustainability and energy transition but lack mechanisms for rapid deployment of decentralized energy systems during disasters.
The proposed framework integrates renewable energy systems across all phases of disaster management—preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. The results suggest that decentralized renewable energy systems can significantly enhance energy reliability, reduce dependence on fossil fuel backup systems, and support climate resilience.
This research contributes to policy discourse by providing a structured framework that bridges renewable energy planning with disaster management strategies, supporting India’s sustainable development and climate resilience goals.},
