Earthquakes and mitigation measures

It has been several years since the earthquake

struck Gujarat on January 26, 2001. In these

years rehabilitation has been done on a massive

scale. Gujarat’s experience has taught that build-

ing shelters with less vulnerability to earthquakes

should also take into consideration the specific

needs of the victims instead of being a top down

approach. The role of NGOs in this is very im-

premium on investments in income generation

and asset building after a natural disaster. The

farming kits provided to affected farmers by

Gujarat’s agriculture ministry is also showing

promising results after two seasons. The author

however states that coordination between Gov-

ernment, local NGOs and local community ini-

tiatives both for rescue as well as rehabilitation

needs to be strengthened as this can cause de-

lays, overlaps and waste of relief material and

efforts.
