'Tanzania's disaster management need improvement' - Expert

The Guardian interviewed Masozi Nyirenda, Disaster management expert on how best Tanzania can manage disasters: "My argument for strengthening disaster management system is based on how responses towards disasters have been in Tanzania. Mostly we have rushed and utilized a lot of resources and efforts to rescue victims of disasters after its occurrence," he said. "We are yet to establish a disaster management system which aims at offsetting or minimizing risks so that disasters do not occur completely or when they strike, they do not cause severe damage on the wide population," he added.
