The experience of learning and walking in their shoes with
rescue teams is brilliant when it comes to learning of basic humanitarian
concepts. Small motivation pills that drive any unit sitting there to save
thousands of lives on an alarm bell, knowing the reality of most of our rural
population and how sometimes you need to convince them to save their own life. It’s not only about disaster management which actives after it ruin everything; it is much about community based humanitarian assistance! Instead of being able to call for foreign assistance, whether charity or evacuation, communities should be able to respond to their fellow humans in hour on great need.
To know how people can live hazard free....oh its reminds me of our introduction to words like, hazards, vulnerability, capacity, risk, we learnt all of them and it was beautiful imaging yourself as a lifesaver for someone.
It has been a fun too, we learnt a unique concept today after many years of our school stories that
"Safety is the first policy;
honesty is least"
and
trust me its big reality when disasters come. The basic evacuation cycle that
we learnt and various other realities like human nature matter a lot in
decisions making during such situations, in effective recovery and humanitarian
assistance.
