NEWSLETTER JULY 2024
As we navigate through the monsoon season of 2024, our commitment to proactive disaster preparedness and response remains unwavering. This month, we have made significant strides in enhancing our readiness and resilience against potential disasters. Ahead of the monsoon, a high-level meeting was presided over by Prime Minister of Pakistan, where we reviewed the current situation and outlined proactive measures to mitigate the impact of heavy rains and potential flooding. The Prime Minister’s directives have been instrumental in guiding our efforts. Under the Prime Minister’s directives, we convened three critical meetings of the Disaster Response Committee in a month. These meetings focused on strengthening coordination among various agencies and ensuring that our response mechanisms are robust and efficient.
