A good article, but it may need the addition of a short section on the costs involved for disaster preparedness for a resilient system, as applied to the local conditions in Pakistan. For example, how much does a fire extinguisher cost, and how often should it be inspected and recharged?

I was planning on making it more in depth but then decided against it. Good advice however, surprisingly it is cheaper to get basic fire safety equipment in Pakistan than in the US or elsewhere. Fire extinguishers can set you back 1500 rupees and a good fire blanket will set you back around 1000, most houses should use powder extinguishers so they are disposable and have an average propellant shelf life of months.

A few comments about just how affordable simple preparedness is, would help the article still. Just a thought.
