A special government commission is created to prepare for and manage both natural disasters like floods or earthquakes and man-made disasters like fires or industrial accidents. Parliament will later decide the commission's members, powers, and how it should work. This means there is a public body responsible for coordinating disaster response and helping communities in emergencies. The government must act through this commission to handle large-scale crises, but the exact rules are still to be set by law.

There shall be a Disaster Preparedness and Management Commission for Uganda to deal with both natural and man-made disasters.

Parliament shall, for the purposes of this Article, prescribe the composition, functions and procedure for implementation of the functions of the Commission.

Article 249 creates a commission to handle natural and man-made disasters, with Parliament defining its structure and functions.
