Rescue 1122 faces many challenges in responding to disasters in Pakistan. The document discusses natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, droughts, landslides, and tsunamis that frequently affect parts of the country. It also addresses man-made disasters including fires, terrorism incidents, traffic accidents, and industrial hazards. Three key challenges are responding to incidents in urban areas with congested streets, high-rise buildings, and new mass transit systems. Rescue 1122 aims to improve preparedness through training, modern equipment, and building community awareness of disaster risks.

3rd social welfare policy of Pakistan, 1992 - Imran Ahmad SajidDr. Imran A. Sajid
The 3rd Social Welfare Policy of Pakistan from 1992 had 9 objectives aimed at developing social welfare programs through public participation, collaboration between public and private sectors to help disadvantaged groups, extending programs to rural areas, decentralizing administration to local governments, establishing coordination between funding agencies, programs for disabled care and rehabilitation, and staff welfare programs. Major recommendations included establishing the Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal organization, a Ministry of Social Welfare, updating legislation on foreign NGO aid, and decentralizing programs to districts and local governments. The policy utilized an Islamic framework and aimed to be comprehensive, but political instability prevented its full implementation.
Rapid development of Bangladesh over last 4 decades has been underpinned by large-scale investment in the transport sector, albeit mostly in road infrastructure. There is a growing consensus that continued road building to deal with increasing demand for transport is neither environmentally nor financially sustainable. Railways pose less carbon emission and its land utilization efficiency is very high as a mode of mass transport. A properly integrated transport plan should utilize the best features of road and rail, and these two modes can largely complement one another. Railways surely can play vital role especially for a densely populated country like Bangladesh. Government’s recent policies for a paradigm shift away from road construction towards investment in railways and inland water transport is a way forward towards developing sustainable transport in Bangladesh.

Program for Enhancement of Emergency Response (PEER): A regional training program initiated in 1998 by the U.S. Agency for International Development’s, Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA) strengthening disaster response capacities in nine countries in Asia.
The PEER program objectives are:
Community Action for Disaster Response (CADRE): Enhancing community level first responder capacity in disaster–prone communities in PEER’s nine countries (Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan, and the Philippines, Cambodia, Lao PDR and Vietnam.
Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE): Preparing medical facilities and hospitals for multi-hazard, mass casualty disasters in PEER’s nine countries (Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan, and the Philippines, Cambodia, Lao PDR and Vietnam.
The Program for Enhancement of Emergency Response (PEER) was established in 1998 to enhance emergency response capacity in Asia. It began with 4 countries and has since expanded to 9 countries. PEER develops standardized emergency response training curricula and works to establish national and regional instructors. It aims to build sustainable emergency preparedness and response systems at all levels from the community to national.
The document discusses CADRE, a PEER training program that teaches basic disaster response skills to community members. CADRE is a 3-day course that instructs participants in first aid, search and rescue, and other essential skills. The goal is to enhance emergency response at the community level in the first 24-72 hours following a disaster. Since 1998, CADRE has trained over 200 instructors who have taught emergency response skills to hundreds of community members across Asia.
A 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck near Padang, Indonesia in September 2009. The first civilian response team on the ground was PEER and Ambulan 118, who extracted two survivors buried under a collapsed building working with the Indonesian Army. Photos show their CSSR skills in action tunneling into rubble and saving lives.
The Asian Disaster Preparedness Center is an NGO working to prepare communities at risk in Asia to help them deal with disasters and emergencies. Find out about our projects and programs in Disaster Risk Reduction.

How To Cultivate Community Affinity Throughout The Generosity JourneyAggregage

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
