In a letter to Sawant, GCCI said that it is willing to support and collaborate with the government in the relief efforts. The body has identified short-term measures as well as long-term measures to prevent similar instances from recurring.
GCCI has also urged the State Government to set up local Disaster Management cells across all red zones. The cells should comprise members who can actively monitor climactic changes and the resultant impact along Goas riverfront and rainwater catchment areas around Dams.
