Initially a report on revamping of Civil Defence
and establishment of Emergency Services in
Pakistan to deal with emergencies and disasters in an effective
manner was submitted. Then a comprehensive study
was undertaken for UNDP and Ministry of Interior,
to review the capacity of existing organizations
responsible for managing emergencies and disasters
in
the Country.
Subsequently drafting
of Emergency Services legislation was started by the National
Task Force on Revamping of Emergency Services to
fill in the gaps in this area after detailed
consultations with experts from all over the
country and abroad, discussions with the
provincial representatives and groups of senior
Government officers. The worthy comments
from provinces, public and other stakeholders have
also been incorporated. |
