AZERBAIJAN TO DRAW UP COMPLEX PLAN OF ACTION TO PREVENT NATURAL DISASTERS
Baku, May 12 (AZERTAC). Azerbaijan will prepare a complex plan of action in order to prevent possible natural disasters.
The announcement came from President Ilham Aliyev who spoke to an on-site meeting as part of his visit to a flood-hit area in the country.
“We must draw up a complex plan of action and start its implementation in order to be more successful in protecting ourselves from such disasters,” the President told the meeting.
“I believe we will approve this plan in the nearest future.”
The President said: “After the situation stabilizes we must estimate the damage. And we cannot just repair the homes which became unsafe, since we do not have only flooded homes there. Not only homes but also farms and private estates have been flooded.”
“The people have lost their sources of income. Is it enough to return them, repair their homes? But how will they live. All these issues must be solved in a complex way.”
