THE HEADS of Department from private sectors and provincial clusters had just joined the Provincial Disaster Council Office in collaboration with the National Disaster Management Office programme on an Emergency Response Training last week.
The training foresees the importance of setting a response team that will assist the National Disaster Risk Management from the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, Disaster Management and Meteorology, at the provincial level in times of disaster.
Facilitating the training, Provincial Disaster Officer George Gulu and the Solomon Islands Red Cross Disaster Risk Manager, Cameron Vudi, appreciate the volunteer response from the participants that had attended the important training last week.
George said that the NDMO has been indentifying measures to limit risk response to disaster and the inclusive training of such sectors will be another prominent avenue to strengthen the community preparedness action with collaboration with the PDO.
“It identifies the roles and respondents from various sectors participants to aware and alert for their service deliverance.
“The NDMO will introduce new methods to response to natural disaster which include the using of the Smart Phone as an instrument to conduct the hazard survey programme.
Cameron said that the training improves the issues that the government faced during and after the disaster, as the second threat of natural disaster
“The Solomon Islands Red Cross is accredited to the government arms and will be allied with the government only in times of natural disaster.
“Natural Disaster can be formally identified as reported disaster when there is limited capacity and capability for resilience
“It is when the PDO reports the NDMO to legally ratify the state of emergency.
“From the limited support that the province has during disaster that qualifies the terminology to become active for the public
He further commented that such training will assure that it identifies private sectors to identify their response at each stage of disaster management cycle which varies; before, during and after disaster.
Meanwhile, the inclusive decision making from the private sector as the voice for the grass roots in the national and religion level will be another alternative response to natural disaster.
