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 andme……yours and my family…….yes…it is our Community who are theworst affected and hence we should be the first to react…first to respondto the disaster. Imagine…..a remote village…..it can not afford to wait forthe Government agencies to come and 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 and me…our villagers…ourGB….our Panchayat leaders are not aware and are not empowered toprevent, mitigate, prepare and respond to disasters, the Government aidwill not be fruitful.6. In Arunachal Pradesh, we have taken a massive task of forming VillageDisaster Management Committees and prepare a Village DisasterManagement plan for 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 form the committee. Prepare and plan and 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 and rescue mechanism, damage assessment,your resources and weaknesses, etc. and hence you should sit togetherand 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 for their village is prepared and 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 for reference. All are requested to take interest and get theVillage Disaster Management Plan for all the villages at the earliestpossible. ;-
