  25. Way Forward

  26. One could go on and on but to end this I would reiterate – “A stitch in time ........” • “Onus is on us” – let’s assume responsibility • Let us make disaster planning a “state of mind” • Incorporate socio-economic impact of calamities into the planning process and livelihood patterns from the community levels in a bottom up approach • Develop risk management model to reduce exposure to disasters at family, community and state levels. • Let us upport emergency planning as it spells difference between “flourishing” or “perishing” And Let all of us join together and Strike Before Disaster Does!-
