Disaster forecasting

As stated in the above report, an inter-ministerial meeting has decided to link up the country with global forecasting system on natural disaster and include Tsunami in its Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP). The meeting also decided to buy equipment to quickly respond to natural disasters like earthquakes, Tsunami, and to start rescue operations whenever necessary.

I welcome the above decision which is appropriate and will ensure safety of the people and properties against natural disasters.

It is sincerely hoped that the decision will soon be materialised.
