Many Pakistani dies in emergencies due to unawareness of security precautions. Pakistan is not utilizing ICT to spread the awareness of necessary precautions that are required during emergency situations to avoid chaos and deaths. Pakistan does not have a strong economy (Kousar, Rehman and Zafar) and it does not have many resources to spend money on advertisement and arranging safety classes for emergencies.

        We can safely assume that if Pakistan used universally designed ICT in Emergency management to spread awareness of security precautions, many lives could be saved. Moreover, it is not costly and people with different impairment can also get safety precautions without having any additional and expensive safety classes.
