Timely Measures Reduce Disaster Impacts

The officials at the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology had already warned the common people and also government and security agencies about the heavier rains that would come in this monsoon season, as compared to the rainfall the country had been seeing over the past two decades. As had been expected by some with saner heads, these experts have been proven right about their predictions and now we are witnessing many tragic incidents of disasters that have fallen down along with the rains. Also, the floods have affected the poor people in the plains which have bigger rivers than other areas of the country, while incidents of landslides have been very common in the hilly areas.
