Our country has faced a series of great disasters in last couple of decades and suffered huge losses. This is largely because we hardly take disasters into account in our planning nor do we take preventive measures to reduce the sufferings of our fellow citizens. We have seasonal disasters, which occur with routine regularity and ferocity every year. Some of the disasters like floods, cyclones and earthquake repeat themselves with tiring regularity but no norms are set, let alone implemented in areas like housing etc. More lives are lost due to ignorance and carelessness than the magnitude of disaster. We hope that this small training guide will be of some help in organising workshops on this subject. Volunteers in the field are welcome to send their suggestions and share new experiences to enrich this programme further.
