EFFORTS to implement various initiatives to reduce disaster risk in the country are a step in the right direction because we can no longer claim that we are free from all natural disasters.

Our experience with the tsunami in 2004 and the frequent occurrence of landslides, hill slope collapse/failure and sinkholes necessitate taking all appropriate measures to reduce the risk of disasters.
