We're in real peril of seeing a secondary disaster which may beget detriment to further people than the original disaster if we do not move with the same pace and intensity as we're doing on the hunt and deliverance side, Holden added.
Holden went on to emphasize the significance of icing that people had “ the introductory rudiments to survive the coming period. ”
This is no easy task by any stretch of the imagination, Holden said, adding the" scale of the operation is massive."
There is a sense of purpose and a sense of focus. And that focus is not just about hunt and deliverance, that focus is about icing people to continue to survive and have what they need to be suitable to do so, Holden concluded.
