Message from the Director General

Message from the Director

Dear visitors,

Welcome to the official website of the National Office for Risk and Disaster Management (BNGRC). As Director General of this institution, I am honored to welcome you to this space dedicated to raising awareness and providing information on the management of risks and disasters that threaten our country.

The mission of the BNGRC is essential: to protect human life, preserve dignity, and strengthen the resilience of our communities in the face of natural hazards and crises. In a global context marked by increasing climate change and extreme weather events, it is imperative that we act collectively and proactively.

At the BNGRC, we are committed to implementing early warning systems, optimizing emergency response, and promoting actions that have a direct and measurable impact on citizens’ lives. Through a Results-Based Management (RBM) approach, we ensure the transparency and effectiveness of our initiatives.

We recognize that risk management is a shared responsibility. That’s why we work closely with all stakeholders in disaster risk management: government ministries, local authorities, civil society, and technical and financial partners. Together, we must build a robust framework to anticipate, prepare for, and respond to disasters.

I invite you to explore our website to discover the progress of our projects, report on our actions, and raise public awareness of the risks. Your support and commitment are essential to ensuring the safety and well-being of our citizens.

Together, let us face the challenges and build a more resilient future for our nation.

Enjoy your reading!
