We had a disaster management drill in our office building today. Attendance was poor & only improved when people were forced to attend !Isn't it a shame that we have no concern for our own safety- do we really consider & beleive that no disaster will strike us ever? what with natural calamities occuring at all times & all over the world & terrorists finding newer ways to engage the common people, basic knowledge of disaster mangement should be made compulsary at all levels, right from primary schools till universities, institutions & homes.
I wonder if high rise buildings in Mumbai & Delhi, ever conduct Disaster mangement drills. Society Managements should be made responsible, as part of their charter. Severe penalties need to be levied for non compliances. Any other place where public gather in large numbers need to be scrutinised for safe evacuation passage & procedure & implemented by authorities vested with managing or governing that particular place.
