    "content": "those institutions has regulations and their way of carrying out disaster response. 4. Enhancement of disaster preparedness for effective response and building better recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction. 5. Emphasising the need to build capacity to respond to disasters and establish an institutional framework that enhances coordination. Building capacity is the keyword. People will be trained on how to deal with disasters, and not to be reactive and pick any person to deal with disasters on which they may not even be aware of how to go about. In considering the Bill, the Committee made the following observations: 1. The Bill gives us a legislative framework and we are happy with it as Committee. 2. The Bill establishes an institutional framework on disaster risk management, which includes the Council which I mentioned when I started seconding and the National Disaster Risk Management Authority to coordinate at the top and with the other bodies in the county levels. 3. The Bill proposes to bring together the staff of the National Disaster Operations Centre and the National Disaster Management Unit to undertake national disaster risk management under one roof. We will not have all these units undertaking uncoordinated activities. Consequently, having considered the National Disaster Risk Management Bill 2021, in accordance with provisions of Article 118 of the Constitution and Standing Order 127(3) of the National Assembly, the Committee recommends that this House approves the Bill with amendments as proposed in the Schedule. I fully concur with the Leader of the Majority Party that this is a legislation that requires the input of all of us, as Members of this august House. There is room and window to make it better. Different types of disasters have happened in almost every part of this nation. Therefore, we call upon all of us to look at the clauses in this Bill and even make them better, so that we wholesomely bring our efforts to make disaster response in this country better."
