Global warming and Climate change are two long term issues that the world is facing. It is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century. The largest human influence has been the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. The fact is, either it is natural or man-made calamities, it destroys human lives and resources. To minimize these damages each country is preparing for it so that they can respond to it in an effective manner with minimum loss.

The country is facing a big challenge to respond to calamities. The frequency of the disaster is increasing day by day. The nation is preparing a certain level to respond to it, however, it is our prime focus that every industry, organization, institution, and agency to take the initiative to prepare for it.

Disaster Preparedness is a big component that DON BOSCO organization is introducing in each province to respond to emergencies that occur in any part of the country.
