About Us
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) is Pakistan’s leading governmental organization responsible for coordinating and implementing disaster management activities across the country. Operating under the Prime Minister’s Office, NDMA plays a crucial role in disaster risk reduction, preparedness, response, and recovery, ensuring the nation is well-equipped to handle natural and human-induced disasters.
NDMA’s key focus areas include developing disaster management policies, formulating disaster risk reduction strategies, and facilitating inter-agency coordination at national and provincial levels. The authority works closely with international organizations, provincial disaster management authorities (PDMAs), and local communities to enhance Pakistan’s resilience to disasters such as earthquakes, floods, droughts, and other calamities.
The organization operates through a structured framework, which includes both short-term emergency response and long-term strategic planning aimed at reducing vulnerabilities and building capacities. NDMA also leads national efforts in early warning systems, disaster preparedness training, and the development of comprehensive disaster management plans.
Through its initiatives, NDMA not only works on improving response mechanisms but also actively engages in promoting sustainable development by integrating disaster risk management into national policies and development projects.
In collaboration with various stakeholders, NDMA strives to create a safer environment for all citizens of Pakistan, emphasizing proactive measures and efficient post-disaster recovery efforts to minimize the impact of disasters on human lives, infrastructure, and the economy.
With its commitment to national safety and disaster preparedness, NDMA continues to evolve as a robust entity ensuring the country’s readiness for any unforeseen event.
