DM Plans
National Disaster Risk Reduction Strategy 2025 – 2030 Pakistan
Pakistan has long been vulnerable to a range of natural and human-induced disasters, including earthquakes, floods, droughts, and climate-related emerging hazards such as glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), heatwaves, forest fires and shifting monsoon patterns. These disasters disrupt lives, undermine economic stability, and set back development progress. The National Disaster Risk Reduction Strategy (NDRRS) 2025-2030 provides a comprehensive framework to mitigate these risks, enhance preparedness, and foster resilience through proactive planning, inclusive governance, and technological innovation.
