Preparing for Monsoon Challenges: Balochistan’s Emergency Readiness Plan
The monsoon season often brings much-needed rain, but it also heightens the risk of flooding. In Balochistan, the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) has rolled out a comprehensive emergency readiness plan. With the goal of safeguarding lives and property, this initiative signals the government’s commitment to proactive disaster management.
PDMA Director General Jahanzaib Khan recently spoke about the measures in place to tackle potential flooding and rain-related emergencies. District disaster management authorities have been activated, local administrations empowered, and crucial relief supplies stockpiled. “We are fully committed to ensuring a swift and effective response across all vulnerable regions,” Khan affirmed.
The PDMA has taken significant steps by improving the management of canals and coordinating emergency teams led by deputy commissioners. These teams are essential for conducting rescue and rehabilitation efforts whenever disasters strike. Khan assured that disaster management funds will be readily available, and PDMA’s heavy machinery can be deployed as needed.
In alignment with the disaster preparedness strategy approved back in June, there’s a clear directive for relevant departments. From the police to local administrations, everyone is on high alert. The focus is not just on immediate response, but also on keeping essential supplies available, particularly to those in vulnerable areas.
The PDMA is ensuring that over 300 families in each district are equipped with relief items, which include tents, blankets, groceries, and fuel. Quick distribution of food supplies in emergencies is also a priority. “The government will provide all necessary resources to ensure effective disaster response,” Khan emphasized.
Ultimately, the safety and well-being of the Balochistan community rely on the efficiency of concerned departments during calamities. With PDMA officials on high alert and all leave canceled, they are ready to step into action when required.
