India should learn from Japan.

I show my heartiest feeling and condolence for the people of Japan. How they acutely and bravely fought with the power of nature. I appreciate their Disaster Management System, to get the information about the tsunami and earthquake point 4hrs before the actual incident happened and with in just 240 minutes they evacuated the hundreds of thousand people form the affected areas before the actual hit. How they shutdown their Nuclear reactors, which are their major source of electricity, and we can think of life without electricity, even then they manage to communicate with lots of people before the disastrous hit.

Their are various ways of learning, one way that let the situation to happen with yourself  or learn form others who coped with the situations. Indian Disaster Management System should learn how Japanese dealt with this deadly situation without throwing the blames on each other's department. Every year multi million disaster management budget is passed by the government, but this amount either goes in the pocket of politicians or remains on paper. Just National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM)'s has been established but nobody knows what they do and what they teach. One thing that comes to my mind that these institutes have given earthquake zones in India that’s it. What next? Even they don't know what next to do? Colonies and Apartments are built even in these earthquake zones without taking any of the recommended measures. Every body knows how they got approval to build these apartments in  those areas.

Moreover if they found that they have to evacuate people form disaster hit area then these people don't even know after evacuation where the person will be put. If I take one practical example if Delhi’s Sadar Baajar got fire then they don't now how to cope with it or how they will evacuate people and where they will be restored. When tsunami hit to India in 2004 more than 2lakh people were killed, just few people are evacuated because of improper communication and mismanagement.

So it’s my request to those people who are in Disaster Management System to wake up and always get ready to help people because these things doesn't happen by giving prior intimation and i don't think that we have such kind to technology that will tell us this will happen next.  At least learn from Japan what they did and how they did. I hope my voice will go to those ears.
