Kakinada, Oct 30th: Mr. Alex Johnson troop commander of the Arakkonam battalion of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), said people should possess awareness and preparedness which were key components of a proactive approach during any disaster situation. Participating at the NDRF’s awareness campaign at Golilapeta under Jagannadhapuram mandal in the district on Friday, Mr. Alex said that in case of a disaster, the local population was actual first responder.
It could take some time for the district administration to mobilize rescue teams, including police and fire personnel. If local people are properly sensitized about precautions and preventive actions to be taken in case of a calamity the loss of life and damage to property could be drastically reduced. Thus, one of the most important tasks of the NDRF is to continuously engage themselves in community capacity building and public awareness program in a big way which includes training to people and concerned government officials at different levels in the areas with high vulnerability.
