#Preparedness vs #Fearpsychosis As Chennai and Tamil Nadu gearing up for Northeast Monsoon, IMD has already predicted that this year monsoon rainfall will be around 17 percent higher than normal. As a follow up to this, Red alert is announced for Chennai for the upcoming days. There are lot of awareness created among people on "what to do" and "what not to do" during these days, disaster prevention and preparedness initiatives are taken by the multiple Government Departments and constant updates are provided to the public. While the whole intention behind taking these steps is to create confidence and trust among people that things are taken care and activities are closely monitored, there exists a thin blurred line beyond which these whole set of informations create panic and fear among people which is evident from the mass behaviour on the urgency to stock up groceries, spreading false messages in social media etc., These sort of behaviours create more panic among the masses which will only make the situation worse. Media plays a vital role in this. The way news are announced in the television channels with heavy "flash news" BGMs for every other minute and repeating the same content in multiple ways is not helping people beyond a point. These sort of approaches only create panic. While the information dissemination is absolutely necessary, the way it has been told should also be taken care of. When people consume such news, they have to feel confident and prepared and should not feel threatened and vulnerable. Responsible and empathetic approach is needed in disseminating such informations and media has huge role to play in this. #Disaster preparedness #Responsible media

Dear Government of Punjab Dear Punjab Emergency Services Department Rescue-1122, Pakistan Fire incident in a local market highlights the critical need for proper fire safety measures. Due to the unavailability of fire extinguishers, a minor fire had the potential to escalate into a devastating disaster, endangering lives and property. To prevent such incidents in the future, I urge the government and local authorities to enforce a mandatory law requiring to maintain a minimum of two fire extinguishers(Different types e.g Dcp, Co2, AFFF) etc. at every business center(Shop/Showroom etc.). This small yet crucial step will significantly enhance safety and protect both personal and business assets and also save our environment from lethal exhaust gaseous contributions. Your prompt attention to this matter can help prevent future tragedies. #FireSafety #Environment
