“We acknowledge the leadership of our government also the M.N.R.E. and D.M.O. for the support that they provide which has encouraged us to continue with our Community Disaster Climate Risk Management Programme’s continuous training,” she said.

“It is developing better awareness and understanding and also providing opportunities for regular practice and strengthening the ability and capacity for saving lives.
