his jolt us again on 26 October 2015 when a horror wave of earth quake with a magnitude of about 8.1Rector Scale begin to jerk the land with its full furriness and resulted in huge damages in many catchment areas in Chitral. This reminds us a decade back catastrophic history of earth quake 2005 in Muzfarabad. Peoples had not been recovered from that traumatic miseries are now get engulfed by this deteriorating phenomena. This hard trembling phenomena caused trenches on land bashed many critical facilities and in turn created many casualties in many part Chitral as result many favorer and rescuer from different authorities reach the bashed area to scan the rubbles for victims. <br />
As we know that many cues given by geo and meteorological hazards many time as to secure, to learn, and most importantly to prepare own self to its harmful effect. Let come & go back to 1992 when a magnitude of about 7.2 earth quake wave begin to propagate the hole Hindu Kush region I can say it was the first earth quake and we were not properly prepared ( Okay). Can I tell another history? Okay have a look on historical profile (5.5 in 2004, 6.7 in 2005) was we prepared? Surely we were not prepared. The recent event also cues us to be well preparing our community, our family and our nation. Indeed we cannot prevent calamities but we can reduce its Impact on our self, on our community and our nation on remedial measures. This earth quake left a pioneer affect of damages on many area in Chitral, specially the following area(Lone, Gohkir, Parsan, Beshgram, Yakhdiz, Harth, Mulkhow and its suburb areas) may affect in future due to gruesome onset of earth quake hazard and its secondary consequence. <br />
Here is a famous proverb that “a stitch in time saves nine” it means that prior preparedness to unforeseen event more scientifically construction of home and other life line infrastructure we can definitely decrease the negative consequence. Once we are observing the home patterns in Chitral there are one to three stories building being built upon each other in local Chitral and on much steep Slop which are making them susceptible to many hazards and disasters. Village like Charun and Lone and their nuclear population being locating on steep Slop may come under natural fury as these venues are located on weak soil gradients. Now it is for most important for the villager to build their hamlet in systematic manner with the integration of ingenious pattern of construction, otherwise they may suffer more from many syndromes of extreme perishing events. For this, it is important for the government to ensure legislation and enforce on Disaster Risk Reduction as an integral part of new construction and development projects in Chitral. <br />
Each disaster may give us a lesson and it also encourages us for better development. Apart from this if we talk of the fault line in Chitral many fault lines (Karakorum thrust Tarichmir and Reshun) are running in our region, it is important for each of us to be aware about these fault line and to aware others and we also have to discourage the peoples and there works who are living in such seismically prone. Here are some important life saving tips which everyone have to adopt at their household level especially the mock dill at home and most importantly at school level. In this year we faced many calamities from the very beginning of this year In July we faced torrential rainfall hander our daily life activities and not in 26 October we face this gruesome event and still in near future it is predicted by our Met department that in this year more will be the snowfall and can also will show its furriness. So it is very important for everyone to know about its topography and the exposed avalanche catchment areas, it is also been<br />
T<br />
predicted that more in this year more than two feet will persist. Well planning and well preparation in the field of disaster management.<br />
