Sri Lanka has been the victim of floods, and now of cyclones
now. Sri Lanka has been effected atleast by 03 natural disasters per year. This
is the time for General Public and the Government to take precautions on a
Disaster Management Crisis. Each natural disaster is sadly struck in the same
given areas and districts, leaving 1000s displaced each time. The settling
reoccurs in the same given areas, making them prone to the next natural
disaster.
Sri Lanka took step number one where the Met Dept. issued a
bad weather warning. This was not taken seriously by the General Public even
though warned earlier, this includes me as well. This would be people losing
trust in the system and not taking such statements seriously.
This is greatest of times for the Government or a Public
entity to have an effective Disaster Management Crisis team which would be
ready for action anytime the country needs.
Environmental disaster has had a frequency, it is high time
we listened to Mother Nature and took the necessary precautions.
Cheers!
