Disaster
Management Act 1987 |
|
|
|
The National
Disaster Centre was established by an Act of
Parliament to coordinate all disaster situations
and surveillance matters.
The NDC conducted an internal review and has
drafted a new Act that reflects changes in
contemporary disaster management thinking and
practices, as well as changes to PNG government
policy since 1987 particularly the Reform with
the Provincial and Local Level Government
Levels. NDC will as a priority pursue formal
processes to have a new Disaster Management Act
adopted.

National
Mitigation Policy |
|
The National Disaster
Centre has developed a mitigation policy that
changes the emphasis from disaster response to focus
on reducing hazards and vulnerability, and
increasing coping capacity, but does not affect the
need for effective response systems and
arrangements. The Centre encourages all Provincial
Disaster Committees to adopt and support similar
policy strategy.

Disaster
Management Plan |
|
The
current Disaster Management Plan (1987) was
reviewed in 1999, but suggested changes were not
pursued. The National Disaster Centre has
conducted an internal review and has drafted a
new Disaster Management Plan that reflects
changes in contemporary disaster management
thinking and practices, as well as changes to
PNG government policies since 198, particularly
the Organic Laws on the Provincial and Local
Level Governments. The Centre will as a
priority, will pursue formal process to have a
new Disaster Management Plan adopted soon. |
