TRAINING AND AWARENESS INSTITUTE FOR DISASTER MANAGEMENT Service Infrastructure

Abstract

Pakistan possesses inadequate and insubstantial infrastructure towards disaster management and response services due to which the country faces severe amounts of property damage, life losses and economic setbacks following such calamities. Studies show that the effects of these damages are immensely multiplied due to lack of timely and effective response, poor management, lack of awareness and scarcity of resources. This thesis aims to investigate the shortcomings in the existing disaster relief facilities and filling the gap of an absent emergency response, management and education institute that works under one roof to deal with all sorts of natural and man induced disasters in an effective manner. The community as a whole is expected to function better under a controlled and primed management facility to minimize the detrimental consequences of catastrophes.
