प्राकृतिक आपदा प्रबंधन के लिए गुजरात सरकार की जितनी तारीफ़ की जाये कम है . गुजरात आपदा प्रबंधन की प्राकृतिक आपदा से निपटने की तैय्यारी देखकर तो यही लगता है की गुजरात वासियों को प्राकृतिक आपदा के समय शायद कम मुसीबतों का सामना करना पड़ेगा .मेरी तो यही कामना है की गुजरात में किसी प्रकार की प्राकृतिक आपदा आये ही नहीं .फिर भी प्राकृतिक आपदा प्रबंधन को इस बात पर विशेष ध्यान देना चाहिए की जिन लोगों ने प्राकृतिक आपदा से निपटने की ट्रेंनिंग ली है वो कम कम से आपदा के समय उपस्थित रहें .वर्ना इस बात की सम्भावना बनी रहती है की आपदा के समय वो कहीं वो छुट्टी पर न चले गए हों .
HATS OFF YO GUJARAT GOVT FOR SUCH DETAILED PLANNING IN DISASTER MANAGEMENT FOR ANY TYPE OF CALAMITY. ALL STATES NEED TO PLAN ,EQUIP THEMSELVES, & TRAIN STAFF, TO FACE ANY EVENTUALITIES.
I AM SURE THE STATE GOVT FIRE DEPT ALSO HAS MOBILE EXTENDABLE LADDERS TO REACH TOP FLOORS OF TALL COMMERCIAL &RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS TO EVACUATE PEOPLE IN CASE OF FIRE.
IT WILL BE NICE IF THE GOVT TAKES MOVIES OF SUCH DISASTER MANAGEMENT & DISTRIBUTES IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES & IN ENGLISH & SHOWS IN CINEMA HALLS,SHORT DOCUMENTARY FOR 5 MINUTES. VERY VERY ENCOURAGING NEWS.
PLEASE SEND TO ALL AID AGENCIES ,U.N,IMF,WORLD BANK, ETC & TO DIFFERNT COUNTRIES, ESPECIALLY COMMONWEALTH COUNTRIES TO START WITH. WHY NOT SHOW IT DURING COMMONWEALTH GAMES.
Excellent!
Disaster management can mitigate all the pains from a disaster.
Even before the disaster strikes, the solution is already in place. वाह!
जय श्री राम!
Dr. Manmohan need to visit gujarat instead of keep visiting USA for INdia’s problem.
