Endeavor to enhance the nation’s disaster management
An agreement has been formalized between the National Disaster Management Institute (NDMI) and the China-Pakistan Joint Research Centre for Earth Sciences (CPJRC) with the goal of enhancing disaster management, particularly in Pakistan’s northern mountain regions that are vulnerable to landslides and earthquakes.
The National Disaster Management Authority of Pakistan (NDMA) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) inked a cooperation agreement.
The agreement calls for the deployment of early warning forecast systems and an enhanced disaster risk simulation to increase disaster resilience in Pakistan’s northern mountainous regions.
Both parties agree to enhance the use of early warning forecasting and risk modeling technologies for mountain disasters.
According to the Chinese media, new monitoring stations that improve data collecting and risk assessment are anticipated to be set up. These elements are critical for prompt and efficient disaster response.
Presenting the mountain disaster risk simulation and early warning forecast system, academician Cui Peng, Executive Deputy Director and Chief Scientist of CPJRC, expressed optimism about its successful implementation in Pakistan and the potential for fruitful future collaboration between the two sides.
He mentioned that the parties’ continued cooperation and communication will be facilitated by the signing of the cooperation agreement.
Earth science teaching and scientific research are the main goals of the CPJRC, which was founded by CAS and Pakistan’s Higher teaching Commission through mutual agreement.
It is housed under the Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, CAS, and has its headquarters at Quaid-e-Azam University.
I am a dedicated student currently in my seventh semester, pursuing a degree in International Relations. Alongside my academic pursuits, I am actively engaged in the professional field as a content writer at the Rangeinn website.
