Permanent Status

• ERRA Act 2010 has given ERRA a permanent status as Pakistan’s Post Disaster Management Organization

• Role of ERRA has been extended at national level

51

Lessons Learnt• Post Disaster Management is a highly technical

and sophisticated field: The Earthquake of 2005 and Pakistan’s vulnerability to disaster

has highlighted a need to bring about awareness among the

communities with special focus on the youth.

All stakeholders require a platform to work right from the outset

for sustainable development

Expertise needs to be documented and institutionalized

Organizational structure needs to be flexible and adaptable to

changing environment

Community based Reconstruction and Rehabilitation pays rich

dividends and it requires mobilization of society through

academicians, civil society and media

Way Forward

53

Mobilizing Society to Develop a Disaster Management System

• There is need to Develop a viable Disaster Management System for Pakistan with active participation of Policy Makers and Leaders amongst academicians, civil society, professional education institutions and media and other Stake Holders

• Victims are the first responders, who lack in skills and resources. With education, awareness and training they should be mobilized through systematic legal framework.
