Доклад о позиции Португалии на Московской Международной модели ООН в МГИМО

Honoured delegates of The Third Committee of General Assembly, Portugal is glad to greet you.

The Delegation of Portugal would like to touch upon the main problem of nowadays- natural disasters.

 Our Government considers the problem of natural disasters one of the main questions to be discussed, because the future of all countries, their development, common weal, all these questions depend on how we solve the problem of natural disasters. That is why Our Government accepts different measures to decrease disaster risk reduction. Hence, The Delegation of Portugal took an active part in signing The Hyogo Framework for Action (2005-2015) and The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015-2030). At the given moment Our Government carries out a policy of informing the society about natural disasters, of also the work of urban services (hospitals and fire departments) has already going properly. Hence, in dangerous situations you would be able to receive an immediate help. There is another main problem in our country-floods, what causes different humanitarian problems, that is why we improve dikes and increase their quantity.

 Our Government continues helping neighboring countries, for example Spain. There were a lot of occurrences, when we sent our best fire departments to help this country, because we have the main problem with Spain -fires. Our Government plans to continue developing the activity, directed at disaster risk reduction. We are going to improve the work of fire departments, buy new equipment not only for office buildings, but also for education establishments to make sure everybody would be in safety. Our government makes all these forces to help not only its inhabitants, but also our neighboring countries.

The Delegation of Portugal appeal to all countries to support actions, directed on disaster risk reduction, to bend every effort to protect inhabitants of your country from natural disaster and make favourable  conditions for living .Nowadays  there are a lot of problems from floods to earthquakes and fires. There are also humanitarian questions, but we can’t solve all them at the same time, but we can begin doing it. And we would like to suggest some measures. To begin with, it is necessary to improve the work of meteorological services, because the future of many nations depends on them. Moreover, all establishments and services should be equipped with modern equipment, because it is reflected on their work and its quality. In addition the government should improve the work of natural and coast guards to prevent forests or fields from fires and floods.

Now we finish our appearance and hope our words were heard.
