Security and Disaster Management (SDM) (Karachi)

INTRODUCTION

All organizations face a definite amount of risk. The challenge is to determine how much risk is acceptable and how to cost-effectively manage the risk while meeting the organization’s strategic and operational objectives. Choices must be made regarding the trade-off between the resources necessary and organization’s sustainability with triple bottom line.

Our region now seems to have more frequency and intensity of human tragedy and heavy economic losses from disasters. The 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, 2005 earthquake in Kashmir, 2010 flood in Pakistan, and the Afghanistan blizzards highlight the level of devastation that disasters can bring to the region.
