FEMA-like agency

FEMA-like agency

Surly Indonesia should have an effective and efficient body to
coordinate emergency work in a natural disaster? Otherwise
everything becomes chaotic, as we see in Aceh.

The Federal Emergency Management Agencies (FEMA) in the United
States deals with matters concerning a disaster, such as
educating the public about disasters, what to do and what to
prepare.

In Japan, kindergarten children are taught what to do in case
of an earthquake. This is just as important as the early warning
tsunami system many people are talking about.

To learn more see www.FEMA.gov, and perhaps we can ask the
U.S. government to lend a hand in creating a similar agency here.
