For the last few decades, Pakistanhave suffered some huge losses due to natural and man-made disasters. Which is costing us in every possible way whether it is an economic loss or human loss. Disasters like earthquakes, floods, and droughts are hitting us almost every year now and due to limited resources, lack of institutional capacity and public awareness Pakistan struggles to coup up with the damage. Lack of institutional capacity and public awareness is the area which needs to be addressed on a first priority basis as we cannot afford to bear more losses to our economy and to our people. Huge amount of our people are displaced and lose their homes and other valuables to natural disasters every year. In order to rehabilitate them the state finds it difficult to manage thus it results in usage of a lot of resources. We cannot fight nature but we can prevent, prepare and educate to reduce the losses. Pakistan accommodate a headquarter building to operate and administer disasters from one platform, a training institute to train and educate and prepare our own people professionally to fight the disasters hitting us and other essential facilities related to disaster management. The facility would not only fulfill the requirement of a headquarter but will also educate and prepare the public of every age group for any kind of unforeseen disaster or hazard bestowed upon us.
