Towards a model for disaster
management community level It is bad enough when the current
political debates, demonstration and destabilization is added to
Kathmandu’s steady decline, degradation and decadence at all
levels. You only need an earthquake to complete the picture of
complete doom!
If statistics or scientific evidence
is anything to go by, Nature in the form of tectonic plate
activity far below us is working steadily to fulfill its quite
destiny and guarantee us a catastrophe of the likes of "The Last
Days of Pompeii".
Earthquake in Gujarat (India), Bam
(Iran) and the earthquake induced tsunami across the region have
all occurred with in the last five years. This is all part of
train of events which very possibly in headed towards Nepal. The
last great earthquake 72 years ago was centre in Bihar (India)
and the one before that in Kangra Valley (India) just celebrate
its centennial in April 2005 amidst dire warnings from experts
of the need to be prepared for a big one very soon.
The Bihar earthquake flattened most
of Kathmandu in 1934. The next one will probably be in the
Kangra region and will surely affect Kathmandu very badly.
The Leaders do not care. What should
have been a matter of national urgency gets low priority. There
is no disaster plan worth anything at any level. Hence it is
every man for himself. We at ward17 now seek to extend that
dictum to
"every community for itself"
