Participants shared experiences, technical insights, and practical recommendations aimed at enhancing the resilience of cities against increasing flood risks.
The discussions emphasized the importance of proactive planning, technology-driven early warning systems, improved coordination among institutions, community preparedness, and sustainable urban development. The seminar provided a platform for stakeholders to explore practical measures and collaborative strategies aligned with the Vision 2027 for safer and more resilient urban communities.
Through this initiative, NDMA reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening urban disaster risk management and building resilient cities capable of effectively anticipating, preparing for, and responding to flood emergencies.
