• 2012 / 2013 – DRR Policy and NDMP

Evolution of DM System

11

• Limited policy level focus on disasters• Absence of sustainable institutional

arrangements to address complete spectrum of disasters

• Disaster management was viewed in complete isolation from the mainstream development

• Limited awareness and capacity among communities

• Funding issues for risk reduction, preparedness and response

Past Perspective & Realization

Past Perspective & Realization

Absence of hazard and risk assessment for informed planning

Absence of hazard resilient Infrastructure (particularly schools and housing)

Development insensitive to Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)

Lack of specialized search and rescue capacity (USAR)

Therefore a comprehensive & proactive

Disaster Management System was established through an Act of Parliament

– Since its inception in 2007, Pakistan’s Disaster Management System has matured by handling a variety of disasters:-

• Cyclones: Yemyin-2007 & Phat-2010

• Earthquakes: Ziarat-2008, Dalbandeen-2010,

Maskhel and Awaran 2013

• Landslides / GLOF: Attabad-2010, Gyari 2012,

Chitral 2013

• Floods: 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013

We learnt valuable lessons during the process

Recent Disasters

24

Floods

25

• Inconsistent monsoon behavior – (Intensity,

Spatial & Temporal spread)

• Rising number of extreme climate events

• Increasing frequency of heavy downpours in

short time interval

• Marked shift in monsoon rainfall zone from NE to

NW

govts

• Camp management / Distribution of relief goods• Disregard for regulations / inadequacies of legal

framework
