Non-governmental organisationsNGOs could play an important role in empowering pastoral communities and in mediating between local communities and the government on disaster related issues. However, currently very few NGOs are involved in natural resource management issues, including natural disasters. Those NGOs or charities that do get involved usually focus on relief work by cooperating in the projects of the Iranian Red Crescent Society. Furthermore, despite the upsurge in civil society activity over the past 10 or more years, there are still very few NGOs doing policy-level research, monitoring and advocacy and also very few that work in the field with local communities.

NGOs have a very key role in improving natural disaster management in the country by regularly monitoring the work of the government in this field. Little is known about the work of the Disaster Taskforce, for example. Regular monitoring would be helpful in bringing the work of this and other relevant organisations to light and ensuring that emphasis is focused on the most important issues, and that funds are spent efficiently and responsibly.

Recommendations

Law

Regulations are needed to clarify and make easier the process of registering an NGO (see the section of recommendations for local communities, above).

Capacity

Gear international funding for, and collaboration with, Iranian NGOs towards strengthening Iranian NGOs in areas where they have been traditionally inactive or weak: policy level work, regional and international networking, lobbying and field work with local communities;

Provide regional and international expertise and collaboration for capacity building of Iranian NGOs on long-term monitoring and analysis of policies and activities of government;

Encourage and build the capacity of Iranian NGOs to monitor the natural disaster planning and follow-up activities of the government, particularly the Comprehensive National Plan for Relief and Rescue.

Collaboration with government

Introduce laws and regulations that would facilitate the cooperation of government and NGOs. Currently, one of the main problems is that no government organisation has a simple mechanism of providing funding or sub-contracting to NGOs and they must improvise with existing regulations which usually results in a very complicated and bureaucratic process.

Collaboration with local communities

NGOs could help local communities understand the structure of the DTF and other relevant organisations, the laws, access to information and so on. They could also help advocate for local communities at the national and provincial levels by airing their concerns, sharing their experiences, and also facilitating the participation of local communities.

How can you help when there is a tsunami?

In case of tsunami approaching to the coast one can help himself by changing location to somewhere extremely higher and stable like iron constructions. Elevation by a helicopter would be perfect. But the help should actually start from the other end - how can you help to prevent one being in a location of tsunami. People must learn to be aware of such phenomenon, people must learn to detect and prevent by warning others.
