According to new reports, the haze would occur again in the later part of this year and it is predicted that the situation would be worsened as there would be a more serious El-Nino this year. The weather would be drier than before because of it. Hence, it would be essential for the government and the public to be very prepared for it with the following.

1. Every family in the affected countries should be made available to a haze-combating kit, consisting of an air purifier, masks, vitamin pills and a booklet containing emergency hotlines.

2. Doctors from all over the countries affected by the haze situation can come together to compile and publish a booklet that contains the symptoms that people with health conditions should look out for during the haze situation to check whether their health status is worsening or not. It should also provide advice on how the people should react if they diagnose themselves to such symptoms.

3. A group of doctors from the countries affected by the haze can also come together to form a network of clinics with specially trained medical staff to screen patients with health conditions worsened by the haze situation. These clinics would then be the centre of treatment during the haze period. The contact information of these clinics should be posted on somewhere accessible for everyone — a complete portal that public can access all information related to haze. They can also book appointments in advance with the doctors — this would reduce waiting time.

4. A set of action plan can be developed as a joint effort by the countries affected by the haze.

5. The government should educate the citizens from young about what they should do; how they should respond when the air quality reaches different levels of healthiness. The media authority can be employed to convey the message to the public on how they should respond when the air quality reaches different levels of health standard.
   
6. Subsistence farmers can be educated on other simple and more efficient ways to clear land. Funding from different charitable organizations can be used to purchase the necessary land-clearing machinery (bulldozers, excavators) for the farmers to clear the land by cutting down the trees without polluting the air. The wood can then be sold and the revenue earned can be added to the income of the farmers to support their families and also to pay for upgrade of the machineries.
