    "content": "Yes, it talks of the authority putting in place a proper approach of the disaster prevention, preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery. Recovery is important and it has already been mentioned. You can easily lose your leg in an accident and if nobody walks with you to make you understand that such things happen, it can be traumatizing. We need to have a lot of counselling, even where fire disasters occur. We need to have a structure, from the beginning to the end, such that once a disaster strikes, we know that this is the course of action to take. We must also put resources in place, because you can put a good structure, but without resources you cannot move forward. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Kenyans are already known for corruption. The law, structure and money will be put in place, but the way the money and resources will be utilized will be amazing. Disasters do not happen every day, but once in a while. It can come once in a year or several times a year. The most important thing is that there should be a continuous increase in the resources that we get. Resources are not only about money; we should have experts who are trained in terms of rescue operations. However, what happens after the rescue in the hospitals; are they ready to receive the victims in all parts of the country? This is because disasters will not only strike in Nairobi. It can strike in a rural county somewhere in Mandera or in Kisumu. Therefore, each county should be prepared and the finances should be there. The movement to save lives should be very swift. After saving lives, we should be able to restore those people to the normalcy of their lives. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
