Abstract
Natural disasters have a tendency to disturb the livelihood of individuals and groups significantly. If not managed properly, they even possess a serious threat to the lives of the people. In the ongoing decade from 2010 until now, more than 50,000 people in the world have died due to natural disasters. The main purpose of this paper is to focus on the assessment of institutional preparedness for natural disasters in Balochistan particular and Pakistan in journal. Results of the paper were made on the basis of key informant’s interviews. Results revealed that, the risk management and contingency planning of PDMA and NDMA are not satisfactory if they are compared with other country's’ disaster management authorities. Lack of proper implementation of strategies and Lack of coordination among institutions attracts the overall province towards vulnerability in the context of disaster. Strong coordination among academia and other stockholders can minimize the overall risk. The study also recommends PDMA to implement DM authorities at the district and local community levels.
