These disasters, which have their evidence available from history, resulted into severe economic losses by virtue Pof damage to agricultural and industrial productivity besides to the residential infrastructure. Riverine and flash floods, among various hazards risks, are the more commonly and frequently occurring hazards repeatedly and severely affecting the Province of Punjab since ages. Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA), Punjab, since its establishment has been making all out efforts to being change in people's mindset towards disaster management from event triggered reactive mode to proactive preparedness based approach. One leap forward in this context is PDMA Punjab's efforts towards disaster risk reduction to bring into its fold the financial institutions, United Nations and I/NGOs to ultimately build culture of mitigation and preparedness besides building effective emergency response capacity of all related stakeholders. It is quite heartening to know that Rajanpur District Disaster Management Plan has been prepared under “Building Disaster Resilience in Pakistan (BDRP) programme with the financial assistance of UNDP. At this point, I would like to congratulate and appreciate the good efforts of District Government Rajanpur who has taken lead in developing much needed District Disaster Management Plan. I understand that this DDMP has been developed based on detailed and thorough consultations with both District and Tehsil level Government and Non-Government stakeholders. Credit needs to be given to all those who took part in Plan preparation process and gave away their very active and positive inputs. I would like to add here that the Government of Punjab is committed fully in the promotion of culture of resilience, safety and security of its citizens. I am certain that this Plan will surely contribute very effectively in the noble pursuit of achieving resilience at the level of District Rajanpur and shall always be taken as the first pioneering step towards District Rajanpur resilience building.
