heavey rain and Khyber pakhtunkhw already started and soon hits northern Pakistan

Sometimes the challenges of responding countries, as is the case with Pakistan has been unable to do so.There was some recovery after the flood was due to the resilience of the people. Like most people in the country and state in their own hands and took his life, the best, a secondary player.. In summary, the assumption that the poor were strong and knew how to deal with disasters and life goes on. We have offered several recommendations unimplemented, mainly related to local governments.The provinces last year's flood was the biggest lesson is not learned. Without effective local governments, natural disasters can not be handled properly. A year has passed and no progress on this important area seems. District, tehsil and union level officials appointed by the Central Council has no option for officers and volunteers. Civil Defence dying, and most importantly, the provincial disaster management authorities (excluding KP) has hardly stopped and the National Disaster Management Authority resourced.Most worryingly, (NDMA) from one crisis to another I would have been moved. This funding is limited, the staff is suboptimal capacity. But those are not enough when you need an active and efficient institutions. Despite the 18th Amendment, the role of NDMA in contact is important.are still unrepaired. It is also the provincial irrigation departments to rehabilitate the vulnerable points or not is not clear. The government is about to take people into confidence. The rain started before, killing dozens, and KP and northern Pakistan are expected to hit soon. Sindh and southern Punjab are as vulnerable as before.
It's time for action and emergency planning. Media and civil society to ensure that the Government failed to discharge its primary responsibility should not be. Weak democratic governments must show commitment to the poor. Furthermore, a national climate change policy and regional strategy is needed. We long for the short-term political gain 'policy' will be postponed?
