    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I also wish to support this Motion. From the previous contributions, you realize that we are always ill prepared to deal with disasters. One of the things we are not doing to prepare for is lack of awareness creation. We need also to educate our people to be able to understand how they can be prepared to move away from the disaster scenes. You realize that when something happens, say a building collapses, people rush there to see what has happened. It could even be an explosion. This is what causes a lot of deaths, and many people suffer injuries because they do not understand the danger of approaching disaster scenes. We must also make use of our military to tackle some of the disasters in addition to using the proposed Disaster Management Authority. Our military personnel are also prepared to tackle some of the disasters. Sometimes we call in foreigners like Israelites to come and help; we call in foreign military personnel. So, even our military are trained and prepared to deal with disaster, and they can always come in handy."
