Year
after year such disasters bring death,
destruction and hardship.
Often people demolish their partly damaged houses
out of fear. All this results
in huge monetory losses adversely
affecting the development pace.
This happens because people are ill prepared
and ignorant to face disasters.
Intervention by external agencies is needed to
build people’s
capacity in ensuring their safety against
disasters.

The Peoples'
own involvement, however, is equally essential. NCPDP
strives to bring viable, eco-friendly
and sustainable technologies to help
people reduce their vulnerability against future disasters.
NCPDP is one of a few technology-based
organizations in the country with first-hand experience
of working at the grass-roots with a firm belief that
building capacity of people from within is the only way to mitigate disasters for a safer world. |
