    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, just two days ago or last week, we were discussing about having emergency numbers established. Disaster management is a whole eco-system of its own that can bring in not only the telecommunications component and other institutional components, but a different hierarchy of decision-making so that when you have a disaster, somebody takes over, and the rest of the institutions are then commanded and guided under that arrangement. It cannot be something that is volunteered on the side. It must be, for example, that the county government, the national representative at the county level, the county chiefs and governors go into an emergency mode. Resources must be diverted from normal programmes and be dedicated to that particular area. If resources are not kept somewhere where they can be used, we should have an authority to reorganise the resources that are already there to deal with the disaster. It is extremely important. As we know, in most cases disasters hurt the weakest most because they do not have alternatives. The well-to-do might move to higher grounds, the city, or move away from where the disaster occurs. Those who are unable to move become vulnerable maybe due to age, disease, level of income and so on. Therefore, by definition, there is the category we need to support. We can expand the Bill’s scope somewhat as we move forward. With those few remarks, I strongly support."
