ARE WE READY ?

God forbid… but what if an Earthquake hits Karachi or Lahore?

Are we ready to face another calamity of such a scale that hit Pakistan on October 8th 2005? According to the current scenario we are definitely not even close to being ready.

We were never ready before and neither are we now? Whatever the Government can do is another story but it’s about time that the Pakistani intelligentsia and the people of Pakistan start doing some thing about it.

We need to hook up with international seismological societies and find out ways on how to save our families and millions of others at risk. Does anybody care that Islamabad and the areas beyond lie on the fault line?

The Pakistan seismological society, that’s if there is one, and the likes should be in red alert mode and should be thinking about what precautions can we take to protect the innocent people and their livelihoods incase another calamity hits Pakistan.

We can’t afford to loose the children of our country once again because without them Pakistan does not have a future.
