Pakistan’s flood damage, according to initial estimates, amounts to $10 billion. The final figure is likely to be far higher—significant road infrastructure has been damaged, apart from residential and remedial (P) built-up area. Livestock has been lost, crops destroyed, and shops and factories washed away. Requests for help would go out, money would come pouring in. But will infrastructure be rebuilt, in a sustainable, disaster-resilient fashion? That question arises because disaster management (Q) depends on one key factor, of which Pakistan faces a serious deficit: governance.
Bangladesh and Orissa are two places that learned disaster management the hard way, after deadly cyclones in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and have left behind them huge death tolls and property damage that had been regular features of life on the rim of cyclone-prone Bay of Bengal. It was a combination of construction—of sturdy rescue shelters that decked up (R) as schools and community centres in normal times, of roads that could wither (S) flooding—and governance, spanning early warning systems, awareness programmes and training of armies of civil volunteers who know what to do in case a disaster strikes, that worked for these places.
Knowledge about what to do is not in short supply. The UN’s Sendai framework (T) for resilient infrastructure, the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, with whose assistance India leads the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, and the World Bank’s Global Facility for Disaster Risk Reduction are but three sources of ready reference on what is to be done. Knowing, however, is not the same as doing. The mice knew they had to bell the cat. But the question remained, who would bell the cat? In the case of disaster resilience, the key ingredient, the glue that holds everything else together, is sound governance.
