Pakistan, rain expected in According to the Met, the new wave of rain and snowfall will be much more intense than the previous one. Since the last two years snow has mostly dominated the winters in the country, but Karachi this time rain is likely to dominate the season, the Met said. Geo News, January 23, 2017 A fresh system of winds and clouds has entered Balochistan, triggering light rain and bringing back the cold in Quetta and surrounding areas. The rainwater could cause flooding in nullahs and streams of Balochistan, the Met warned. The mountains of Quetta, Zhob and Kalat are also likely to be blanketed in snow during the ongoing week. Heavy snowfall has started again in the mountains of Murree, Galyat, Hazara, Malakand and Kashmir. Rain is forecasted for Karachi on Tuesday and Wednesday. Besides, landslides are feared to occur in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit- Baltistan and Kashmir. Hunza Valley received its first snow of the season, which intensified the cold in the area. The Met has advised people to follow the precautionary measures suggested by the National Disaster Management Authority/National Highway Authority for travel during rain. Replacing obsolete radars: ISLAMABAD: The Rs19 billion plan for upgrading Pakistan Meteorological Department’s Met Office’s upgrade plan equipment, including the procurement of the latest weather radars, has finally been moved to the placed before EAD Economic Affairs Division (EAD) after a seven-month delay. Express Tribune, January 22, 2017 A government official, who wished not to be named, told The Express Tribune: “This is a positive move … This reflects that efforts will now be made for arranging funds for replacing obsolete and dysfunctional radars and buy at least 14 new radars to cover at least 95 per cent of the country.” According to the official, it appeared that disaster management was not on the government’s priority list and Pakistan was among countries most vulnerable to natural calamities and extreme weather events. In June last year, the prime minister had asked the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) to submit a report on its failure to inform in advance about the windstorm that devastated Islamabad and parts of Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa on June 1. The report was submitted in the same month and the Prime Minister’s House agreed on acquiring the latest weather radars and asked the PMD to submit a comprehensive plan in this regard. But it remained in doldrums until December last year. Met Office’s chief Dr Ghulam Rasul said: “The proposal has now been sent to the EAD and we are hoping for the best.” Over the past few years, he said, Pakistan experienced extreme weather events mainly because of climate change impact and in the coming years, there will be a significant increase in the number and intensity of such events. “Therefore, upgrading the early weather forecast system is very crucial for forecasting changes in weather patterns and issuing advance alerts, preventing human and property losses,” he said.

The pilot programme was launched in 68 Pak Observer, January 22, 2017 schools both in public and private sectors across the country including Islamabad Capital Territory. The framework, being finalized by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) in collaboration with UNICEF Pakistan, would help promote a safe learning environment for students, teachers and school staff against natural and man-made hazards. Besides, it would ensure preparedness of the school community against hazards and enable schools to develop a comprehensive response mechanism against any disaster. The framework would also sensitize all stakeholders about their respective responsibilities in school safety and ensure children’s participation in building school safety and implementing risk reduction.
