Resumen
Descripción
Pakistan remains susceptible to
emergencies caused by a variety of natural hazards. There
are two fundamental reasons for Pakistan’s high
vulnerability. The first reason is increasingly high
exposure due to rapid changes in the region such as
unprecedented population growth, urbanization,
deforestation, climate change, and rising human–animal
proximity among others. The other reason for Pakistan’s high
vulnerability, which is also critical to this particular
endeavor, is its insufficient capacity for emergency
response. Without disregarding the fact that the status of
Pakistan’s capacity for risk communication has evolved since
the JEE’s report in 2016 (especially considering the
unprecedented focus on risk communication efforts during the
COVID-19 pandemic), it is crucial to address the gaps
identified to ensure Pakistan is prepared for the next
public health mergency. This document provides the way
forward for addressing those gaps. The document has two main
components. The first main component of the document is an
in-depth situation. analysis of the existing risk
communication mechanism. The second is a framework for i)
ensuring preparedness through institutionalization, and ii)
activating campaigns during emergencies.
