Article - No Lessons learnt - comments welcome
Dear Abdur,
Your article is excellent, as an introduction to problems in disaster management in Pakistan, or any country I suspect. For comparison, you might like to look at how well or how badly Queensland (Australia) is now dealing with a similar (or perhaps larger) scale of flooding, but in a much less complex social environment. I hope your article will have a sequel.
Since I work at an anthropological museum, I will ask an anthropological question... do any of the institutions you mention have a visible core of expert staff, or 'critical mass' in terms of relevant human skills and interests? Perhaps the picture is mixed, with some offices having active, sincere, and skilled staff, and others not. The question then is how to unite the people with real skills into an effective civil emergency network. Or, if there are are clear differences in the skills and culture of the different organisations, can the differences be made more explicit, in order to avoid the confusion of responsibilities, even if the overall mandate is the same?
Best regards, P.

Dear Abdur,
We do not currently have a dedicated 'Feedback' forum for already published work, unless one of group pages happens to suit. I have moved your request to the 'Special help' request forum. You could also ask for this kind of feedback in a posting to your own blog page within the Research Cooperative (see 'My page' in top menu after logging in).
