Expedite the establishment of a disaster management policy

The Senate standing committee on Foreign Affairs on Tuesday, October 13, raised concerns over the country’s lack of a proper disaster management plan. The Senators say, the disaster management unit has no action plan, is hugely understaffed, lacks equipment and there is no law establishing it. The Senators did well to bring the important issue to light. However, the onus is on the relevant authorities to find a quick solution.
