Post Earthquake Scenario

State Disaster Management Authority, AJ&K Pakistan

State Disaster Management Authority

 Identifications of Challenges
Technical Incapacities:
 Non Availability or absence response planning Non Availability or absence of hazard context
 Non availability if cohesive communication infrastructure.
Institutional Incapacities:
 Job fragmentation
 Non availability Institutional arrangements
 Non existence of contingent platform in case of black out disaster
scenario
Sustainability:
 Till the earthquake of 2005 latent attitude on the subject had
prevailed.
