Abstract
Pakistan falls in the region, highly prone to Natural Disasters. Limited resources in terms of technical gadgetry and human resource are the major reasons for inadequacies in efficient management of disasters. Modern world has developed sophisticated methods and equipment to deal with natural disasters to bring the losses to bare minimum. In line to what is reported after the colossal earthquake of 2005, a methodical attempt was observed in building a feasible configuration of disaster management that resulted in the establishment of National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), the progress is far from satisfaction. The statement is supported by the flood of 2010 that exposed the thoughtlessness and flimsy administrative policies that shaped as serious damages and transience. Keeping the intense enormity of floods and other natural disasters, this calls for an efficient disaster management in the country. Consequently, it is the dire need of the nation to devise an organized disaster management system to manage the catastrophes that occur frequently in the region. Hence, the scope of this article deals with the major challenges being faced by Pakistan and role of various institutions to generate a coherent response in case of any future natural disaster
