Time to press panic button

It is more important to do things before disaster strikes. Because every life is precious.

This is time to press panic button. India must draw sincere time bound plan to handle disasters. Life of millions is at stake. We should not wait for the disaster to happen. We must do following immediately:

- Declare a deadline and after that all construction in entire nation must be strictly on legal terms and earthquake resistant.
- Existing structures must be taken up for strengthening and making them earthquake resistant in time bound manner. This should apply to all structures be it personal or public.
- Sensitive zones must be given priority based on assessment of sensitivity.
- Disaster management must become more efficient and general public especially in sensitive zones must be trained to handle such situations. Locality based workshops may prove helpful.

This is time to act in a hurry.
