divorces, required policy level attention for relief as was done for a special person without hands. Having noted that, the Commission feels that the factum that almost 27, 000 Watan cards had not been en-cashed has not been duly publicised to let people know that very many considered eligible were reluctant to receive state dispensation; many complaints of extending benefits to unaffected may have been addressed in that process! 64. Provincial Disaster Management Authorities created in 2007 or thereafter, to act through District Disaster Management Authorities, to partially repair post-2001 fragmented local management structures on two counts: Non- devolution of all service delivery functions and exclusion of many provincial and federal areas from the purview of the electoral process, despite two Federal laws promulgated for the purpose in 2002 and the 2005 earthquake. Since elected District Governments did not cover the entire space in revenue districts due to exclusion of cantonments from the new local government laws, an integrated set up was conceived as a part of a unified command and control system, to deal with the disasters through effective vertical and horizontal integration of territorial and functional coordination through management structures. Provincial Governments amended the respective Rules of Business to create PDM Departments and to specify their policy and oversight functions. Most powers and functions of the <strong>PDMA</strong> were/are at par with the erstwhile Relief Commissioners but no evidence was led to substantiate if the inter-Provincial NDMA provided any guidelines, as intended by the extraordinary law on the subject, primarily due to political crisis generated by extra-constitutional dispensation enforced on 3 rd November 2007, a month after promulgation of the 2007 Ordinance for establishment of the NDMA in October 2007. 65. Civil Defence Organizations (CDO) mostly composed of volunteers, to assist local administration / Army in rescue, evacuation and relief measures and mobilize local personnel for disaster management, rescue and relief. The CDO is Page 150 of 211
the lead agency that steers disaster management at District & Tehsil levels under respective DCOs who have designated DROs as focal persons designated under District Disaster Management Plans; these played their respective roles, where necessary. The Commission did not invite the CDO for any evidence. To use it for any productive benefit, this set up has undergone major revamping since establishment of state of the art, 1122 services to respond to all types of emergencies from accidents, to medical-calls in main towns and for big fire managements besides flood relief. These rendered useful contributions. 66. In addition to the above, sectoral departments of Agriculture, Communication and Works, Food, Heath and Livestock and Planning and Development have important roles impinging on overall crisis management scenarios were associated with the Relief and rehabilitation work but were not invited in view of the TORs. The NDMA network will have to integrate these departments with its overall plans. Page 151 of 211
