The CRED data base on disasters indicates that their number are on
rise and at the same time profound increase in the damages of
earthquakes are also inevitable due to population growth
particularly in Asian context. In 2005 Kashmir earthquake
communities in Pakistan were severely affected. This event has
stimulated the policy makers and planners to establish disaster
management policy in the country. This book has made an attempt to
investigate the issues related to the community earthquake
preparedness and emergency management. The preparedness and
emergency measures were investigated both at the community and
organizational levels. Disasters are still handled at provincial
level in Baluchistan and focus more on reactive measures. The
disaster management authorities are not implemented at local
levels. On the other hand the community is more vulnerable to
earthquake hazards. It is concluded that neither the government on
provincial and districts levels are prepared nor the community is
prepared for earthquake hazards therefore they are affected from
time to time due to earthquakes.
