Relatives of passengers of flight MH17 had to wait two to four days before they certainly knew that their loved ones in the disaster had come to life.
That's according to the Research Council for safety because the National Coordinator for combating terrorism and security (NCTV) Dick shoved the direction not assumed.
Too many procedures Also linger in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs continued to act according to established procedures, and much more info on the passenger list, and thus about the victims was available. This is stated in the report that the Research Council today. In the Netherlands it is intended that in crisis situations the NCTV a coordinating role.
The Research Council writes that the services in Netherlands are not well prepared for a disaster of such magnitude. "In both the rural and regional plans failed to a detailed scenario of an air accident abroad with many Dutch people on board", writes the Research Council.
The Research Council writes that the security within 48 hours with good information collection should be possible within 48 hours certainty. That has not happened. "The Government organizations that have a role in the process to inform the relatives of the victims would, having regard to previous (aviation) accident, should know that passenger information after an air accident not comprehensive and reliable", writes the Council.
"Because the Ministry of security and justice (in particular the National Coordinator for counter-terrorism and security) the direction not to themselves pulled out and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs insufficient alignment were looking for other interested parties, came the information that various parties gathered about the victims and their families not together. As a result, it took long before the correct information was available to next of kin informed. "
Faster to Director according to the Research Council must be the NCTV at this kind of accidents to the much faster and clearer direction. According to the Research Council is the way the crisis management in Netherlands is regulated, way too complicated.
The Ministry of security and Justice has already indicated that the crisis management is going to be organized in a different way.
