"We have the culture to get hurried only after the disaster happens, unless and until we manage to develop action plan of preparedness and response during disasters like, landslides, earthquakes, epidemics, fire and others we would be lagging behind in achieving DRR goals," Mr. Dhakal added. He committed to work together with local bodies in DRR and DRM activities in the days to come.
Superintendent of Police, Mr. BK, sharing the experience of Koshi flood (where he was involved in) stressed on the early warning system and rescue arrangement mechanisms. "For every disasters we have to be well prepared and well equipped to response the crisis in organized way," he said.

He also requested the local bodies to play a significant role in accomplishing the goals of government led reconstruction campaign within the set time. "Building code and standards should not be understood as the bothering factors but every person and every household should internalize the importance of standards to make our societies seismic resilient," he added.
