Natural and anthropogenic disasters (e.g. earthquake , cyclone , fire etc.) can occur at any time and cause a national crisis in Bangladesh .In a densely populated country like Bangladesh such disasters could be catastrophic if we are not prepared . We will be better off to deal with such situations and save millions of lives when we have adequate preparations and trained citizens.
Countrywide mass safety training and mock rehearsals will help people to be aware about the emergency situations during any disaster and take right course of actions. I request the Ministry of Food and Disaster Management to take the initiative of mock safety training countrywide. The training can be held once in a year.
For example , a country wide training on safety can be held in the first week of New Year, preferably on a weekday. During the mock emergency training period people will stop working for an hour, participate in the training and evacuate workplaces, homes, hospitals, educational institutions and public gathering places. Evacuees can conduct a head count and record . People can resume their works after the mock training.
The ministry can involve security forces including Bangladesh Police, Rapid Action Battalion, Bangladesh Defence force and other private security forces to coordinate the training. I also request the government to make such training mandatory to every government establishment in the country . Such training will be useful to make people aware about emergency situations, adopt right action, save public lives and reduce disaster management costs significantly.
