(d) (e) (f) (g) (h) CBRN Preparedness Medical Preparedness NDRF – Strengthening Emergency Response Capacity Building; and Mock Exercises A completely fresh perspective of linking disasters with development can draw from these developments in the area of science and technology, legal and administrative framework, education and research, as well as information dissemination. Development has to be environment-friendly and sustainable. It should give due regard to the goals of equality, human rights and social justice. Disaster planning has to, therefore, be a crucial component of overall development planning of a country. Disaster management is being mainstreamed into the development planning process through: structural measures, non-structural measures and mitigation projects. Under structural measures, all new projects/ programmes would be revisited to build in disaster management concerns to ensure disaster resilience. All the development schemes would be pragmatic, incorporating the awareness of local disaster risk and vulnerability, and ensuring that the schemes have addressed these concerns and included specific provisions for mitigating disaster concerns. A futuristic perspective would have to look into the contours of disaster-development interface and come up with a systematic disaster recovery strategy. The design of ongoing programmes will also be audited and disaster management issues will be addressed. Non-structural Graphic 2 measures would incorporate legislation, and other such instruments as building bye-laws, land-use regulations, which create an enabling regulatory environment. Mitigation projects will be taken up to enhance the status of preparedness in the country. The road ahead is full of complexities, as well as promise. In consonance with the new perspective, disasters can be viewed as developmental opportunities. Howsoever paradoxical it may sound, it is true that whereas faulty development policies may lead to disasters, many disaster events also open up new possibilities of development. An often quoted phrase needs to be reiterated over here; “Development should be such that guards against disasters, development in itself should not give rise to disasters”. We may conclude by saying that we still have miles to go from here. It is indeed a long and arduous tread ahead. However, with your cooperation, understanding and involvement, we will take up one step at a time to cover this long road to effective disaster management. 75
