KNOWLEDGE FOR LIFE-
THEME OF INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR DISASTER REDUCTION 2015
The International Day for Disaster Reduction has been observed since 22 December 1989 on the second Wednesday of the month of October.

This event also indicates that innovative practices should be made because Planet Earth is undergoing unprecedented environmental and ecological degradation.

EX-LORD MAYOR ASLAM HOSSENALY AND
TORRENTIAL RAIN OF 13 FEBRUARY 2013
All the Councilors of the Municipalities and Villages are Policy Makers at the level of Local Government, just like the Members of the National Assembly-both from the Government and Opposition Sides, semi/governmental institutions and top management teams of Ministries. The role of the Mayor is to lead the team of councillors, to administrate and to impose his authority on the affairs of the Town/City. Ex-Lord Mayor of Port Louis, Aslam Hossenaly was therefore answerable to the citizens, amongst others, regarding Extreme Weather Conditions and their impacts on the environment.
13 OCTOBER- DISASTER REDUCTION DAY.
SEE UPDATE 2014 BELOW
The United Nations has proclaimed, in 2009, 13 October as INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR DISASTER REDUCTION. Previously, that is since 22 December 1989, the second Wednesday of the month of October was recognized as such. All the countries of the Blue Planet are requested to observe this particular day for the well-being of Mankind. This is expected to be translated in terms of Protection and Security against psychological distress, bodily injury, loss of life, of property, of livelihood, and of a trail of miseries that natural and man-made calamities can potentially cause. Emphasis is laid, this year of 2013, on 'People with Disabilities'.
Chamarel and Baie du Cap Predicted Quakes
My precious document dated 28 MAY 2011, which I submitted to Prime Minister Ramgoolam and to other Policy Makers (Government and Opposition) including others, is the testimony of my Virtual Prediction that I have made since 2008 regarding Chamarel. Refer to an extract of page 35 on the chapter on Millennium Development Goals 2015.
MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT WORKSHOP: 18-22 NOVEMBER 2013.
The Ministry of Environment, just like the Policy Makers and other stakeholders of the Republic of Mauritius, continue to turn a deaf ear to my requests to participate actively in conferences and workshops. Yet, a workshop is being currently held at Gold Crest Hotel-Quatre Bornes from 18 to 22 November 2013, in which I have not been invited. Such attitude is against the Provisions of International Conventions and Protocols which the Republic of Mauritius has adhered to.
