623. Please remember, we may not be able to prevent the disasters but wecan definitely prevent the damages associated with the disasters if weare well prepared.4. Who are the worst affected in the disaster? Yes…it is you <strong>and</strong>me……yours <strong>and</strong> my family…….yes…it is our Community who are theworst affected <strong>and</strong> hence we should be the first to react…first to respondto the disaster. Imagine…..a remote village…..it can not af<strong>for</strong>d to wait <strong>for</strong>the Government agencies to come <strong>and</strong> rescue them immediately….it isthe villagers who should respond immediately. Yes……government willsupport you to prepare you to respond quickly.5. Unless the community…that is you <strong>and</strong> me…our villagers…ourGB….our Panchayat leaders are not aware <strong>and</strong> are not empowered toprevent, mitigate, prepare <strong>and</strong> respond to disasters, the Government aidwill not be fruitful.6. In Arunachal Pradesh, we have taken a massive task of <strong>for</strong>ming VillageDisaster Management Committees <strong>and</strong> prepare a Village DisasterManagement plan <strong>for</strong> all the villages under GoI-UNDP programme. TheState Nodal Officer is sincerely working on this issue. But we are laggingbehind. Only 20 villages have submitted their plans. I expect that all ofyou will <strong>for</strong>m the committee. Prepare <strong>and</strong> plan <strong>and</strong> submit it at theearliest possible.7. You are the best judge to decide upon the safe shelters, risk areas inyour village, the right type of volunteers, how to activate the earlywarning system, search <strong>and</strong> rescue mechanism, damage assessment,your resources <strong>and</strong> weaknesses, etc. <strong>and</strong> hence you should sit together<strong>and</strong> prepare your action plan. Also chalk down what help you need fromthe Government.8. The concerned GB/PRI should ensure that the VILLAGE DISASTERMANAGEMENT PLAN <strong>for</strong> their village is prepared <strong>and</strong> updated once inevery six months.The model disaster management plan prepared by the villagers of LoiliangVillage under Tezu circle is under guidance of the District Administration isattached here <strong>for</strong> reference. All are requested to take interest <strong>and</strong> get theVillage Disaster Management Plan <strong>for</strong> all the villages at the earliestpossible. ;-
