Earthquake happened in Ghana in 1939 and currently if we should study the geographical location well, the Burma Camp, 37 Military Hospital, Ridge Hospital, all Ministries, NaDMO headquarters, Kotoka International Airport, Police Headquarters, and Fire Service Headquarters are all on the line should an Earthquake occur right now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe must all, therefore, be ready because earthquake doesn\u2019t care about food security, one\u2019s political affiliation, religion, ethnicity or financial status,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Bright Elorm Doviavu, Deputy Director, Sustainable Livelihoods, NaDMO, said unavailability of a legislative instrument to guide the operations of NaDMO and weak information management system in data were some challenges NaDMO was facing in attending to shocks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Others are lack of a standard operating procedure among sector players for social protection and shock response and limited support from other sources during emergencies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hajia Lariba Zuweira Abudu, the Deputy Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, in a speech read on her behalf, said social protection had become a proven, effective and reliable tool for addressing poverty and its related vulnerabilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In spite of several plans to achieve a National Social Protection Policy, she said many Ghanaians still remained in poverty and stress and that the recent national statistical survey report showed increasing inequality among the populace.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also showed that six million people lied below the poverty line out of which 73 per cent were dimensionally poor.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, children, the report said, were more likely to be poor than adults as an increasing effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change among others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hajia Abudu said available report also stated that flooding affected 0.16 per cent of the Ghanaian population and all were due to inadequate robust systems to address such shocks.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those challenges, she said, could only be addressed by building shock responsive systems and by supporting households hardly hit by the shock.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Deputy Minister said studies had been conducted and findings were to be reviewed and validated to enable government and stakeholders to assess how effective the proposed solutions would be.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She entreated citizens to reach the Ministry and appropriate offices on toll free numbers \u2013 0800800800 or 0800900900 and on WhatsApp number 0559046709 in cases of disaster for appropriate responses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Kwadwo Mensah Aborampah, Director-General, National Development Planning Commission, said as COVID-19 and other disasters had revealed how vulnerable the nation was, it was a call on everyone to \u201csit up\u201d not to be re-overtaken by such shocks in future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GNA&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion \/ advertisement?
