Devolution makes sense #ACTonDRMBill as it will shift power to first responders, especially communities and local authorities who are at the frontline of emergency response @MoLGPWZim its time to ACT!!!

Ops Senzeni why? Well I raised my hand to add value not to present! One other thing which is part of preparedness just a call out there to the business community isn't good enough, there's need to incentivise. Government MUST introduce Disaster Participation Coporate Tax Rebate!

Disaster Management solution is CULTURE Not A Subject It must be collective, no selective hearing, info. deceminated to everyone for readiness. And it must be part of education curriculum from ECD - to build culture of preparedness In Japan, kids do earthquake drills from age 3.

Disaster Management fails when it becomes a briefcase project Cyclone Idai 2019 warning came but info stayed in Met Dept corridors (WhatsApp groups) for bosses. Chimanimani people heard it on the last hour. Preparedness isn't a department, it's a culture, collective ownership,
