Natural Disaster Act
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.
Category: International Security
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Groot Gouda
Description: DEEPLY REGRETTING loss of life and material damages as a result of natural disasters such as earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, typhoons, floods, blizzards, etc;
NOTING that these disasters do not stop at national borders;
OBSERVING the Tsunami Emergency Warning Center as instituted by the Tsunami Warning System (Resolution #90);
NOTING that the aforementioned Resolution #90 has limited effect for other natural disasters;
ALSO NOTING that the measures implemented by this resolution can and should be used for further research and development of natural disaster warning systems;
1. DEFINES "natural disaster" as any disaster caused by (physical) geographical, geological or meteorological processes, including but not limited to earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, typhoons, typhoons, floods, blizzards, etc;
2. ESTABLISHES a Natural Disaster Assessment Organisation (NDAO) which has the following tasks:
a. Conduct research on natural disasters, preventative methods and monitoring systems,
b. Coordinate international cooperation on this field, in scientific research and in practical solutions,
c. Create protocols for warning about possible disasters, evacuation plans and local disaster awareness programmes,
d. Maintain contacts with local authorities and local organisations in order to improve communication of information about possible natural disasters and how to respond to them,
e. Maintain contacts with national governments participating in the NDAO, the Tsunami Warning Center, and the UN;
3. EMPHASIZES that the NDAO is meant primarily for natural disasters with an international impact;
4. REQUESTS that member nations collect and share geological, meteorological and other relevant data with other countries and the NDAO to assist in monitoring, forecasting and researching natural disasters;
5. URGES all nations to establish and fund a National Geological Survey and a National Meteorological Office which can colelct data, contribute to the NDAO as well as work on a national or regional level on the monitoring of potentially dangerous sites and conduct research;
6. EMPHASIZES that technology alone is not enough, but warning and evacuating the population efficiently is just as important, as well as having plans for dealing with a disaster and the rebuilding of the affected region;
7. URGES all nations to contribute financially, organisationally or otherwise to the NDAO;
8. CALLS UPON all nations to provide care and assistance in case of a natural disaster, by themselves or through recognized UN organisations such as the International Red Cross;
The People's Republic of Groot Gouda would like to thank Grosseschnauzer, Mikitivity and the Nederland region for their input.

Basically the proposal is worth to be supported.
Is it however really necessary that each nation implements paragrahp 5 and 7 ? We see that more on the regional level, locally coordinated and "dispatched" by the Regional Council.
| QUOTE | 5. URGES all nations to establish and fund a National Geological Survey and a National Meteorological Office which can colelct data, contribute to the NDAO as well as work on a national or regional level on the monitoring of potentially dangerous sites and conduct research;
7. URGES all nations to contribute financially, organisationally or otherwise to the NDAO; |

Well, I'm sure this could be done in a similar manner, where we set up a regional coordination office, funded by each state, with offices in each nation.
Btw, Legalese SUPPORTS the resolution. |

As delegate I stand in favour of this resolution on behalf of Atlantis, as well as on a national level. Although the creation of monitoring stations is entirely pointless, the systems necessary have existed for some years, and that we as a nation are unwilling to share data hapahazardly with all and sundry obviously limits our involvement.
Rest assured though that should we learn of anything threatening our associates in AO we would provide some notification. |
