With reference to legislation that could have been relied upon to deal with the earthquake disaster, such as the Emergency Law, which governments have experience in dealing with, passing through the institutional system in terms of the absence of a body or ministry specialized in disasters, the flabbiness of government institutions, the expansion of the bureaucratic system resulting from the social employment policy, the absence of a reference that provides the necessary information for all planning, rescue and long-term response operations, or the failure of different parties to share data among themselves, reaching the absence of the financing system in terms of the existence of funds concerned with disasters and compensation.

The attendees pointed out the need to develop a strategic framework to reduce the effects of disasters, whether a ministry or a higher authority, and the need to have a special information platform that allows planning and monitoring the response. In the second pillar related to the requirements for comprehensive disaster treatment, the attendees pointed out that the shortcomings or absence of such treatment include the prevailing social culture and the crisis of trust between actors and institutions and between society and institutions and the absence of spaces for political competition, which raises the need to resort to national dialogue to develop foundational solutions for comprehensive treatments. The participants pointed out a set of challenges surrounding any future dialogue process, foremost of which is the corruption system that will resist any dialogue that carries calls to eradicate it, and the weakness of institutions today may be an additional factor in obstructing dialogue.
