XII. PEOC RATIONALE Disasters are unresolved development problems. Inappropriate development initiatives and lack of real time data/information, integrated and holistic approach towards addressing development problems, lack of coordination and communications have made the environment a rather intricate issue in Balochistan, thus complicating the disaster risks and vulnerabilities in the province. The lessons learnt from past disasters (2005, 2007, 2010 floods) call for quick and effective actions to control the situation and above all save lives. Thus PDMA Balochistan realizing the importance of Coordination and communication and real time data decided to establish Provincial Emergency Operation Center to address all above queries. With the establishment of the Provincial Emergency Operations Center, a bridge and platform for timely, accurate and concerted efforts are now a part of the Government machinery. XIII.
