ABSTRACT
COVID-19 pandemic had impacted mobility of migrants worldwide. The outbreak of this notified disaster had created havoc among humanity. Government policies and initiatives, as well as individual efforts, are crucial to tackle the devastation caused by the outbreak. The availability of resources and effective strategies are pivotal to minimize the damage. Migrant workers are part of vulnerable groups often neglected from the process of policies formulation by the government. Despite constituting a large section of the population, they are more prone to the risk caused by natural hazards. The lack of proper data and few policies on migrant workers had delayed the response of institutions amid the emergency. Hence, this paper tries to understand the challenges encountered by migrants due to the outbreak of pandemic along with the immediate requirement of disaster risk reduction policies. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2022.
