brother..disaster management has become a science now...internationally there r four steps to manage.
1..mitigation
2.preparedness
3.response.
4.recovery.
first two are concerned with pre disaster management and other two post disaster management..pak govt,s performance is poor in post disaster management and v poor in post disaster management.
this was da v basic thing in that particular essay..one more thing mitigation and preparedness walk side by side...
best of luck for u people and do pray for me too.
