Message from District Coordination Officer
The Development of this District Disaster Risk Management Plan for district Kech with the support of
United Nations Development Programme and National Disaster Management Authority is one of the
remarkable achievements for the district administration Kech which supported it from pillar to post in the
development process.
The District Disaster Risk Management Plan aims at building the capacities of the communities making
them able to minimize vulnerabilities at their own ends. The plan illustrates the ongoing developments in
disaster management through which the government, business community and civil society together
taken joint ventures measures to reduce the impacts of disasters on the fabric of society. This will be more
beneficial and replicable in establishing early warning systems, preparedness programmes and
adaptation of practical measures for copping up in future risks.
I congratulate United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and National Disaster Management
Authority (NDMA) and its teams for development of such a substantial and valuable document. I am
hopeful and confident that the guidelines expounded in this plan will provide utmost benefit to the
vulnerable communities of district Kech.
