Message from President of Pakistan

I am pleased to know that "National Disaster Awareness Day" is being observed to create awareness amongst the masses for better preparedness against disasters. Pakistan is one of the most disaster prone countries in the world and therefore systematic process of disaster management needs to be adopted to cope with disasters in future.
In view of widespread damage caused by natural disasters and negative implications for national economy, the NDMA needs to change national response to emergency situations from reactive to active mitigation, preparedness, response and rehabilitation model.
"Public awareness is critical in educating our people for impending challenges of climate change and disasters for which all of us have to play our part."
Mamnoon Hussain, President of Pakistan
