EDITOR—The disaster preparedness ministry was a brilliant idea but falls short of a few things that need to be looked into. Whereas natural calamities like mudslides, floods, hunger and disease are sometimes beyond our control, we must admit that we have contributed a lot to some of their occurances and the ministry should not always wait for disaster to strike before they act.

Some disasters like floods and landslides keep coming up. There is therefore need to build bridges where water passed the previous years if the disaster preparedness ministry cannot influence the works ministry to do so.

For crying out loud, disaster preparedness is not about supplying relief items only!
