SUGGESTIONS

• Community Response‐ additionally trained peopleld h diff b lif d h fcould mean the difference between life or death for

many others in the event of a disaster.

• SDMA Meghalaya is reluctant in conductingili i i i b hi h iFamiliarization exercises by NDRF teams which is a

helpful tool in reviewing the Hazard VulnerabilityA (HVA) d h l iAssessment (HVA) and strengthen your planning.

Id if h i i li f b k i i d• Identify the criticality of backup communications andfuel planning.
